Re: OPR vs Coopertition Strategies

Newton 2009
-- Team 1629 was in 8th place. According to the new seeding, they are now in 22nd.

Those are huge changes, as how they impact the teams. If you had team that totally dominated before, 75-0, for example, that team doesn't do any better than the teams they just beat, and perhaps if there had been a penalty - they would actually do worse than the teams they just beat.
Oddly enough, 668 was rather under-ranked on Curie, scoring 24 balls in their first match then being subject to defense all weekend long. 1629, while an elimination caliber robot roughly on par with 469, had a slightly easier schedule than many. Perhaps this system somewhat corrects for that?

I'm interested to see Andrew's data, corrected to include Coopertition Points.
