If I'm reading this right, wouldn't this exacerbate the issue? You're adding the high average of a strong event to an already inflated OPR.

Rather, you'd want to measure how strong the event was and correct OPR with that. Simplest way would be to take the difference of the event's average OPR and the world average OPR, and subtract that from the team's OPR at that event. This would lower OPRs at stronger-than-average events and raise them at weaker ones.

Something like:

OPR - (Event Avg - World Avg)
