I'm not saying OPR's perfect ('cause it's not!), but the whole point of OPR is to have a generalized statistic that indicates how many points certain teams score 'across events... and it actually seems to do a pretty darn good job. That said, easy ways to get a low OPR (perhaps unrepresentative of potential?) are by having a niche role-playing robot that is dependent on partners, having inconsistent performance through an event, or by scoring in such a way that partners can't contribute as they typically would.

From 1519's perspective this year, it's been nearly spot on for our point scoring (if you only give co-op about 20pts instead of 40) if you compare it to going back and scouting matches (after each event we do a comprehensive point and time analysis based on video of our matches).

Now QA's are really only meaningful within an event... for example, DCMP QA's are solidly inflated compared to Regional or District events.
