Thanks for showing this. I had thought about doing something similar.

The IRI Planning Committee always has a tough job selecting invitees. If you were one of them, how would you sort teams based on this data?

OPR alone is not good, because it leaves out too many multiple event winners. Winner/finalist count alone has a similar problem -- too many high scoring teams left out. Maybe something like District Points?

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.
