R2 has a "platform OPR of 40 and a co-op OPR of 28
R3 has OPRs of 0 for the sake of argument
By the above method, the red alliance would be predicted to score just 110 points, since we would use R1's co-op average, but not R2's. But if R2 can usually score 40 platform points *and do co-op most of the time*, surely they wouldn't put up their 40 and then spend the rest of the match twiddling their thumbs. They would use the time they normally use on co-op to score more platform points!
(There's also the issue of whether the opposing alliance has a high enough Co-op OPR to ensure co-op will be successful, but now we're getting really complicated.)

Is the max coopOPR used for the same event as the Max OPR? If not I see some problems where it may appear that teams score more than they really do, if they coop more at some events, and then stacked more at other events. They would be getting the max points from both.
