Note that there are lots of ways to do this without ill intent:
-Simply failing to get your yellow totes across
-Knocking over their stack
-Tending to create tippy co-op stacks that the oppositions then tips over (and draws a penalty for)
Obviously, doing this maliciously to trick your opposition into wasting time would be tremendously un-GP.
A hypothesis that comes out of this idea is: There may be a correlation between DPR and co-op scoring. A team that's big on co-op scoring should see their opposition tend to score fewer tote or container points.

I think you're right. Assuming that teams are being earnest in trying for coop points the "DPR" is actually a measure of coop stacking competence.
