Close but not quite right.
If you replace "average" with "75th (or 95th) percentile of the CMP as a whole" then you'd be right.
The idea I was trying to get at was a metric that made it easy to see which alliances were more or less competitive than others. I choose MAX OPR as the surrogate from how good a particular team is. Then I choose 4 precentiles 95th (which is the roughly the 4th best MAX OPR in the division and 30th best MAX OPR in St. Louis), 90th (roughly 8th in division, 60th in CMP), 75th (19th, 150th) and 50th (38th, 300th). And Finally, to make it easy to compare these MAX OPRs, I normalized each division percentile by subtracting the associated CMP percentile.
I think it paints a pretty clear picture. The top tier robots in Newton are about 1 high goal boulder better per match than the similarly rare top tier robots in the general CMP population. That is a big difference. Not insurmountable by any means but still pretty significant.
