Project ORB: A superb predictive scouting system!

As far as I could tell much earlier in development, it was oddly over in estimation, but it seemed consistent by a certain multiplier (not impacting the predictions for winning, just showing bigger values.) Before, I had multiplied it by about .7310 to get the scores looking more like actual match scores. It is currently not doing that, since as mentioned it has no impact on prediction. The score value is a result of how it's summing it all, as it is trying to follow as close as possible the way that match scoring works in-game, but is not caused by any errors.

Hope everybody's been having a great day! We have found that there are some issues with retraining teams as matches occur, so we've turned off that feature in order to ensure that the web service remains online. We'll train tonight for all teams at Championships to make sure the data tomorrow is fresh based on how teams played today.

We just did a tweak and they should be slightly more realistic, but we'll be looking into adjusting these values tonight to make them appear more like match scores.

We plan on releasing the source code at some point, it's a bit fragmented at the moment and we'll need to clean it up.
