On the Y axis look for 80%. Trace horizontally from there until you hit the red line, then go straight down. The answer is 80% of the total OPR is due to 47% of the teams.

Is the reason % of OPS sum crosses greater than 100% at ~80% of teams due to interpolation error? Is it true that 80% of teams account for 100% of OPR (in other words, 1 in 5 teams never score anything)

Not sure OPR is necessarily the best metric to use here given that all teams from an alliance benefit from an individual's good performance. Alliances make the individual harder to judge (a team only capable of "capping" stacks with bins but not producing their own will only score well when teamed with a robot that can make large stacks, for instance). OPR is negative for some teams, while points scored cannot be negative (except for penalties).

In other words, I feel the actual scoring potential of the best teams (the 1%) do produce more disparity than the 99% compared to Ether's graph. But without more specific data this is not too knowable.
