Oh, I had no idea that they did that at IRI.

I suspect that match scheduling will be even more important than in recent years at CMP because of the nature of this year's game.
Both you and I are not top 10 material because we dont have a 7 disc auto mode (i.e. 2056, 1886, 987, etc.). However, like Boilermaker, if you put the 2 of us together against 1 of the elites with 2 defensive robots, we both know either alliances can still win. It was such a beauty everytime we paired up.
On a side note, we have defensive/offensive center discs for auto mode. We wont ever use it unless the time calls for it.

I expect there to be a good number (maybe 10 or more?) of robots at the championship event that will find themselves in the top 8 in each division, even though they'll be middle of the pack in OPR.

Their strategy should be to pick the two best offensive robots they can, so that the alliance captain in effect becomes the 3rd bot for defense. OPR in this case would be a good tool for them to help rank teams.

Also, depending on the team's strengths, an alliance of 3 offensive capable bots could be more effective than an alliance of 2 offensive capable bots and 1 defensive only bot. If this is a team's strategy, OPR is a good tool to help rank teams (or at least identify 20-30 teams to focus on in scouting instead of 90+).
If your first two 'bots are of moderate offensive capability, then picking a third offensive bot is a good idea. However, if you have 2 high powered offensive 'bots as we did at both Madera and Sacramento, then you should pick a bot that stays out of their way and is very useful for defense or other tasks. We made our high score in a match at Sacramento where our third 'bot was out, and the other team switched off with us to put up mucho disc points. In Madera we ran interference for our full court shooter to win the tourney.
