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)

I am trying to award teams who played at harder events and had their OPR lowered because of the defense they played against. This method does exactly that and brings up teams who played at high caliber events closer to the top. It doesn't award teams who had high OPRs at their event where no one else could score as much. I'm not sure how good of a metric it is other than kind of being a 2nd order sort on who played well at "good" events.
