This is especially true of slow that used the middle shooting position to start their climb. While they would frequently get their 30 points, they would often cost the alliance many missed shots from cyclers that were 75%+ at taht position but 50%- from outside shooting positions. Yes, the climber did score 30 points, but the other two partners that usually put up 30 disc points, and only got 20 results in a -20 total points from them. Some of this if it occurs on a regular basis will get attributed to the climber team. This will also explain an imbalance if you summed the auton, disc points, and climbing OPR.

This also explains the potential for negative OPR in a category. Such a team might have a negative teleop OPR.
