I arranged some TBA
Insights data to look at depth of field for the events played through Week 2, using OPR as the metric. I don't know how well this correlates with actual playing strength.
Here is the Google sheet.
This probably won't change many opinions, but I thought it would be fun look into a possible (more serious) answer to my own
question.
Using my list, the depth roster of events (deepest first) is:
(1) GTR East
(2) AR Rock City
(3) Alamo
(4) Central Valley
(5) Palmetto
(6) Los Angeles
(7) Orlando
(8) Northern Lights
(9) Israel
(10) IN Tippecanoe
and then 10 more events where only one team had OPR greater than 45, and 22 events where no team did.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
