How does OPR work? 548 did quite well at Waterford, finishing 14-5 and winning both the District and Chairmans, yet we are rather low.

Thanks in advance.

OPR is an average measure of how many points your team can score in a match. The formula takes all the matches you played and analyzes the scores, comparing that data to the scores your alliance partners put up in their matches, and solves a giant system of equations to approximate how many points your team is worth in a match.

It's not a perfect system, for example, defensive robots do not tend to have high OPR's compared to offensive robots but can still be very good. It's just one objective way of looking at robots.
