Bongle,

I'm not sure, but I think your code includes the numbers of all three teams on each alliance. If you're calculating the average team number of only of the teams you're paired with, wouldn't you want to keep your own team number out of the average? If that's the case, it'll flatten out the "who you are paired with" average with respect to your own team number. It won't change your opponent's average team number, though. I could easily be reading the code wrong. I thought what was important was the average team number of who you were paired with, which should ideally be constant versus team number, not the whole alliance, which your own team number will influence.
