Re: OPR vs Coopertition Strategies

i think if FIRST still records W/L/T stats, RPI (Ratings Percentage Index) might actually be a better formula to use. If your looking for teams that had tough SoS's (Strength of Schedule). Then this is something that should be looked into

after al, OPR will drastically change once the eliminations begin because of the sudden rise in defensive play.

The formula for RPI is as follows

RPI = (WP * .25) + (OWP * .50) + (OOWP * .25)

Where WP is Winning Percentage, OWP is Opponents' Winning Percentage and OOWP is Opponents' Opponents' Winning Percentage.
