Re: How many matches are really needed to determine final rankings?

Oooooohhhh.... preettttyyyy....

Had time for just a couple plots. But these really show what I was expecting: lots of movement/changing early on and then a leveling-out. However, the leveling-out really isn't that level. It seems like there are still jumps after teams have matches later in qualifications. Perhaps because of good alliance partners, or perhaps the team had a good match.

The first chart has all teams plotted from the Silicon Valley Regional, and the second plot has just the top ten OPR teams from the North Star Regional.

Thank you for all the number crunching to get all the OPR scores, Ether. Perhaps later there will be time for more analysis with reference to rankings instead of just graphical. Or, has this analysis gone on long enough? What else would be interesting?
