Uh... Yep.

And probably not.


The "match balancing algorithm" AKA "NOT YOU GUYS AGAIN", for the uninitiated, was an attempt to "balance" matches. Top third of team numbers had one on each side of the field. Bottom third had one on each side of the field. Middle third... You get the idea. Unfortunately for the algorithm designers, that just so happened to be 2056's rookie year... And most events didn't have the depth that they could get away with it. It didn't take long for teams to raise a stink.

The problem is that it was even(ly bad) across everybody, so I don't think it'd affect OPR that much.
