Because I'm interested in how various OPR app developers are handling that question.
In a match with an alliance containing a surrogate team, the scores (Coop, Auto, RC, Tote, Litter) for that alliance in that match are not included in that surrogate team's totals as reported in the Rankings table. So without some algorithmic legerdemain, the computed category OPRs for every team that plays in an event as a surrogate will be lower than they "should" be.
Unfortunately, there is really no mathematically "correct" way to deal with this, because this year FIRST does not provide the data required to handle this issue properly.
