OPR after Week Three Events

Also, with such a low number of teams, the top three teams inflate the average OPR data.

Tell that to: 1310, 1334, 4039, 1241, 772, 2702, 2852, 3683, 3161, and others...

This was the highest quality FRC Regional i've ever seen, all of those teams listed would do well on a field at championship. The field of 32 teams at Waterloo was historically deep, we got a robot that could do 3+ cycles a match with the 23rd pick, 1114/2056 got a long range shooter with the 24th pick, I call that depth.

At most regionals during qualifications the event can get a little monotonus with a couple poor matches in a row. At Waterloo there was rarely any slow matches during qualifications, everyone in the stands were engaged, I even saw arena staff and regular Waterloo students getting into the games during qualifications.
