I have a day job, so I haven't put the numbers together -- and someone's probably already done the analysis somewhere anyway -- but I'd be *very* surprised if the 24 teams with the top OPR in the "regular season" are always the teams in elims. Probably a large percentage of them, sure. But even if you discount high-OPR teams that break during quals & therefore aren't available for elims, not all of those teams end up in elims.

Also: I don't think that the 4th alliance robot should be considered a "backup". They're going to be a full-fledged member of the alliance, and I would expect (especially on the top 2 or 3 alliances) that there's going to be very little difference between the 2nd & 3rd pick. Seems to me that there's a lot of room for picking for varying tactics, not just emergencies. Having said that, I've never been to IRI, so I'll ask -- how often does that 4th robot not play unless one of the first 3 are broken?
