Also, I do not think 4 rotors will be a "given" at DCMP or CMP... particularly given that there are 12 divisions across the two CMP's this year. Many regarded the capture rates from last year similarly, but the elim capture rates were:

Curie: 79.4%
Einstein: 72.2%
Carson: 71.8%
Newton: 65.6%
Hopper: 60.7%
Galileo: 56.3%
Carver: 52.94%
Tesla: 43.3%
Archimedes: 36.7%

WHAT? Curie, generally considered to be the weakest division going into worlds in 2016, had the highest capture percentage? The only conclusion I can arrive at is the community consensus was based on well known powerhouses. There was in fact a huge struggle among some VERY capable teams. The fact that Curie beat Einstein for capture% (and by a significant percentage) may imply that it can't be quantified with OPR, average score, etc. (granted Einstein is a smaller sample size).

Anyway, carry on...
