Can't Miss Matches

[JamesBrown]

Well following 4 fields can be tough so I though I would create a thread to list matches that should be exciting. Feel free to add, I haven't been able to watch as much as I would like so I may be missing some good matches. Most of my picks are based on OPR of the teams involved.

Galileo:
Today:
Match 83: 11:48am Blue Alliance 1114/359/1056, Based on OPR this is the best alliance in this division and the third best at champs.

Match 85: 1:06pm Alliances have a total combined OPR of 266.99 (146.91 for Red and 120.08 for Blue) this is the highest combined OPR atleast on Galileo. Could be a very high scoring match as every robot on the field appears to be a capable scorer.

Match 105: 111/254/1700 Blue Alliance, 111 and 254 should put up quite a few points together but there are no big scorers playing aganst them so they could run into a lot of defense.

Tomorrow:
Match 131: 8:57am 130/341/254 this is another match with 3 capable scorers could be a very high scoring match.

Match 141: 9:57 1114/254/1706 Poofs and Simbotics are two bots that can easily fill half a rack and win a minibot race, if one of them is seeded 1st tomorrow this may be a try-out for eliminations for the other.

Archimedes
Archimedes doesn't have any one with an OPR over 61, there are fewer matches with extremely high OPR Alliances.

Match 93: 1:54pm Both alliances have OPRs just over 100 should be high scoring and competitive.

Match 115: 4:06 Same as #93

Match 138: 9:39 All 3 bots on the red alliance have OPRs around 50, so far most of the high scoring matches have featured three good scorers rather than 2 great ones with 1 that can't score.

Curie

Match 70: 10:30am 1983/364/71 all three can score, 71 already hav a couple of 120+ matches, this could be another. Alliance OPR: 152.82

Match 79: 11:24am 1717/245/2751 Three capable scorers, going against three other offensive bots, should be a scoring frenzy. Red OPR 143.44 Blue OPR 113.34

Match 106: 3:12pm 1983/987/1559 obe bot with an OPR in the 60's, one in the 50's, one in the 40's total team OPR 156.31. The other alliance has an OPR of 118.15, total match OPR 274.46, I believe this is the highest at Champs.

Newton
Match 57: Should have been played last night but doesnt look like it was Red Alliance 234/836/624 has an OPR od 143.8, Blue is also over 100, should be alot of tubes going up.

Match 68: 234/3536/148 alliance OPR of 145.

Match 75: 148/1730/88 OPR of 168.22, 148 already has 1 full rack, this alliance may be able to do it again.

Match 94: 2:00 PM 217/1731/1108 v.s. 842/148/1732 battle of the IFI bots, total OPR for the match is 256.91.

Very close match! 121-107 in the Poof's favor. 1714 did awesome too.

I didn't include it in my post because it happened yeasterday but Newton match 39 the red alliance had an OPR of 192.55, for reference that alliance had a higher OPR than all 6 robots playing in 131 of the other 146 matches.

This match was great, it was interesting to see 148 apply tube starvation to 217. However I think 148 had a bit more firepower on their alliance.

Newton is definitely going to see elimination matches with less than a handful of tubes on the ground at any time. This will lead to much lower scores and defensive battles.
