FAQPage Schema

How do I calculate EPA and OPR metrics for FTC team rankings?▼

OPR (Offensive Power Rating) is calculated by decomposing match scores using linear algebra to isolate each team's offensive contribution, while DPR measures defensive rating. Both are computed alongside EPA to generate comprehensive event rankings.

How do EPA calculations predict FTC match outcomes?▼

EPA predicts match outcomes by calculating Expected Points Added for each team, updating ratings after matches, and aggregating individual team metrics to forecast alliance performance and event rankings.

Can I debug FTC analytics calculations with sample match data?▼

You can validate EPA and OPR analytics methods by running local examples with sample match data, feeding inputs into calculators to observe predicted outcomes and verify rating computation accuracy.

What FTC metrics are included in EPA and OPR analytics?▼

FTC analytics metrics include epa, autoEpa, opr, and dpr. These per-team metrics measure overall expected points added, autonomous scoring contribution, offensive power rating, and defensive power rating for event rankings.

Why do my EPA ratings not update correctly after FTC matches?▼

EPA rating errors typically stem from incorrect baseline calculations or malformed match data inputs. Troubleshoot by validating baseline initialization, verifying sample data structure, and debugging analytics methods with known match outcomes.
