No where near as complicated as OPR (I just did something simple as I created the spreadsheet in ... 15 minutes?). Used all local data (just from this competition, not scouting data... so everything is binned).

Very simple heuristics: Pretty much just added up a normalized version of each team's points as listed in their standings and then added the teams' together.

So this is probably wrong, but then my cross-validation set did fairly well.. (although i don't have a lot of that either) so I'm rolling with it for now.

I wish I had our scouting data.. but then I'm 500km away on a computer... so..
