An inflated OPR happens if you have a favorable set of alliances AND your alliance mates score at least their average amount in those matches. However, we had a favorable schedule at Curie last year but our alliance mates scored below their average (about 29 points per team) so our OPR was depressed well below our actual goal score. Another is if the entire field at a regional is scoring well above the FRC average, which could be occurring for any number of reasons, including quality of play or more fouls.
