Re: OPR after Week Seven Events

I'm not sure how it's calculated, but I feel like it's a decent way to scout as long as it's followed up by actual scouting of a team. It's going to sound like I'm whining here, but it's true. Except for one match, our team scored above 50% (in some cases we scored above 65%) of our alliance's total points during the competition (including elims). Our average points per match was 40 (and this is including a match where we jammed and only scored 25 points). If we take that match out, I believe that we averaged over 44 points per match. Yet our team only won two matches during the entire competition. So, I mean, it's a good measurement, but teams are going to be missed.
Generally, however, I do think it's an invaluable tool for smaller teams who don't have the resources to do a bunch of scouting themselves. For the most part, robots can be measured by those metrics and it's mostly accurate.
