It baffles me that a team with an OPR of .7 will be competing at IRI while a team that ranked 3rd on Galileo will not. I acknowlege that IRI is also about bringing together "strong character teams" but this juxtaposition is almost absurd.
Top-performing teams had an equal chance to get in via this method.
