At TCNJ, we played an OK game and came away with a OPR of 22.3 and CCWM of 6.2 (both rounded to 1 decimal place via Excel). At Bridgewater, we played tremendously better (or so it felt) and our winning margin rose from 3.4 to 3.9 (+14.7%) and our average score rose from 19.6 to 24.1 (+23.0%), although our OPR dropped 0.5% (22.3 -> 22.2) and our CCWM went down 11 points to -5.0 
If we're scoring better, more accurately, and more often while winning more matches, wouldn't our CCWM and OPR go up? |
Assuming your team actually
did score higher at Bridgewater that TCNJ, and all other things being equal, yes.
But what the OPR and CCWM is telling you is that there was some negative synergy (be it
random or
systemic) between your team and the other teams on the alliances you played with at Bridgewater, such that your alliance scores were a bit lower than would have been expected based on the other teams' performance on other alliances.
