High DPR can also mean that a robot purposely scored on his own alliance trailers to increase RS (ranking score) or to prevent a G14 violation.

I can tell you that we did this in 4 of our 7 Q-matches. And it got us the highest RS of all the 2 loss teams and allowed us to be seeded 4th. Without this strategy we would not have gotten to pick 1625 and and probably not have won the regional.

In one case we stopped scoring for ourselves with 30 seconds to go and scored about 40 points for the other alliance. So that also lowered our OPR a little bit. I think many the good veteran teams did this to some extent.
