Although OPR doesn't tell you anything about a team's specific contribution to the alliance score (truss, finisher, auton, etc.) it does a decent job of showing which teams bring success with them when they show up on the field. Having strong alliance partners may improve your seeding, but it does not necessarily raise your OPR since the math may "credit" the scoring to your partners instead of you. Since the scoring in this game depends so much on how the alliance works as a unit, a team could achieve high OPR by planning effective match strategies that makes their partners contribute more effectively than they might do otherwise. Having a good robot helps, too.
