I think that is a great goal to have that level of information! Certainly, we will continue to do scouting, and would never expect a particular algorithm to tell us who or who not to select. This is a tool to use in that over all process. My scouts will continue to do pit scouting, as well as individual match scouting, and I think we will be looking at the OPR+/DPR+ type of values to help us find those teams down in the noise of the competition, that may have a very low ranking, but have the qualities we are looking for in an alliance.
I would love to see how you finally implement this, since it is questionable that I will be able to put in my database between now and next weekend, especially since I am using a datawarehouse and a Business Intelligence tool to create the reports. The data interface is still lagging!
The methodology you described is exactly what I was looking doing as well, and I believe it has merit! Good luck with getting it debugged! Good luck at your competitions!
If anyone else is working on these concepts, and will be at the Chesapeake Regional next week, I would love to chat with you there!
