OPR<strategy+teamwork

Particularly since OPR is calculated using numbers from qualification matches, and the dynamics in qualification matches are different from the dynamics of elimination matches, and I can only assume (this will be our first trip to the big dance) that champs quals and elims will have different dynamics than matches at district, regional and even district champs matches based solely on the fact that there will be much more variety in the robots and teams.

I always like to consider the value of good qualitative data
