It is an estimate of how many points your teams contributes per match. Note that it isn't simply your total score / 3, but by using the magic of linear algebra, you can solve for something a bit more accurate. It can help weed out robots that simply had good partners, and should be able to discern robots who many not have placed well but still contributed each round.

for some reason, i dont think that ours is right... b/c we have had three hurdles or more in 75% of our matches and it shows that we score about 26 points per match, which w/ three hurdles (including lines) we should be just a little under 30... but of course i dont know what went into the compiling

If you took a substantial number of penalties (1 every couple matches), that'd result in your offensive rating going down. This is because in addition to adding to an alliance score by hurdling, you'd be subtracting from it due to penalties. It's not a perfect number because we don't have an infinite number of matches to base it off of, but it seems to correlate nicely with observed robot performance.
