[FRCTop25.com] Week 6 Voting!

[Lavapicker]

My team, 1056, may be the highest ranking team to not make it to worlds this year. OPR world rank of 11th. Could only afford one shot at it this year and we couldn't pull it off. Best of luck to 359 who had an unbelievable regional win in Houston this weekend. I can't believe no one has them in the top 25 after two more regional wins this year (I lost track of how many in a row that is) and Championship Chairmans last year. They jumped us to 10th place in World OPR and will be a force at Worlds. Get em Glenn!!

Team 2481 is 3rd in OPR world rank, and did not qualify for the championship.

If you want to get sympathy about your team being undervalued, don't spout OPR numbers. Back it up with hard facts and meaningful numbers.

Team 1712 had a higher OPR than 2590 at Lenape, but not a single person, on Dawgma or otherwise, would argue that we were anywhere as good as Team Nemesis.

OPR is a starting point and a quick reference tool. It is not an accurate performance metric. Comparing OPR across different events is completely meaningless.

Agreed. I will be talking about this in detail at my seminar at the Championship.

But, will we actually get that far into the presentation this year?

I vote Karthik gets as much time a he wants to present!

Now back to the Top25 conversation.... I just voted for the 1st time this year, so now I can complain about the rankings.

We definitely will, FIRST has tentatively given me a 2 hour presentation slot this year. More details to come once the agenda becomes official!

Will you be posting details of what you discuss online? I'm interested to know more about what the OPR metric should be used for, if not cross regional statistics.

Exactly. It's impossible to see every team play live (or via webcast), especially when you're competing in a few weeks of regionals yourself. I use OPR as a start to see which teams I should check out, then watch videos to rank them.

Since it's district championship week, you guys should do previews and predictions of both MAR and MI during your breaks.
