Re: Offensive+Defensive Power Rankings

As Karthik clarified in that thread, numbers are just numbers. What you do with them, how you interpret them, is completley up to you.

I believe the OPR numbers are a perfectly accurate measurement of a team's average offensive contribution, after penalties and everything. Maybe there's a way to calculate DPR. Maybe there's a way to adjust the numbers relative to the rest of the teams in each of its competition.

Again, the numbers are just numbers. If they don't help you, or you think they're inaccurate, I'd reccomend you simply ignore them. I also don't really see much of a suggestion from you. All I see you saying is that you want someone to figure out how to calculate defensive rankings. If I were you, I would at least suggest something, instead ofj ust coming and telling people to "calculate the rankings using this method." I don't see a method here.

Once again, the OPR numbers are perfectly accurate if you take them for what they are. They're a way to induce some idea about a team's average contribution from the matches they played and their scores.
