Agreed. OPR may be good to glance at, but isn't really a good predictor of records. Strategy, especially in this game, can throw OPR out the door. Going into MSC, we were expected to 3-9 based on OPR. After going 3-0 on day 1, Spyder predicted we would go 12-0. we ended with a final qualification record of 7-5.
