I decided to do some quick analysis with QA data from weeks 1 - 3 since I had it (and didn't have OPR):
- The top 10 teams have a higher total QA as the bottom 62 teams
- The top 0.5% of teams have a higher total QA as the bottom 3% of teams
- The top 20 teams have a higher total QA as the bottom 104 teams
- The top 1% of teams have a higher total QA as the bottom 5% of teams
- The top 241 teams have 80% of the total QA
- The top 11.81% of teams have 80% of the total QA
- 1114's QA at Waterloo now (197.87) is the higher than the sum of the 13 lowest QAs from weeks 1 - 3.
It's actually not as unevenly distributed as I expected. I'm guessing the fact that QAs are averaged, and therefore top teams can get pulled down by lower scoring partners and vice versa plays a role. It'll definitely be interesting to see how OPR works out.
Notes:
"top" and "bottom" just refer to the highest and lowest QAs, not to any other aspects of those teams.
Percentages for the first two statistics are rounded to the nearest 0.5%
