Hmm how about we switch to using a Condorcet method for the PVP ranking?
I screwed up my thinking on whether the sides were different, will add an edit/reply to my comment on the main post later.
Thanks to Maxwell Peterson for introducing me to R through his post and code, I hope to continue using R later, ideally with a better gears-level understanding than currently.
Do you know how you ended up with Oil Ooze on your team? I was expecting to trick a lot of people into submitting Nightmare, but I wasn’t expecting the Ooze to show up.
The magic black box supplied to me by Maxwell, after I fiddled with it a tiny bit and supplied it with adjusted data, told me that BGNOT was supposedly the strongest team in general, and that the strongest counter to BGNOT was ABGOT. It also claimed that ABGOT was the strongest counter to gjm’s BGNPT. I asked the magic black box how well a few candidate teams, including ABGOT, did against the non-secret competitors already posted, and the numbers it gave looked more generally decent for ABGOT than the other candidates (I was looking for broad-spectrum effectiveness more than average effectiveness) and it also said that ABGOT would have a decent winrate against average teams, so I went with it. I would have liked to make a figure of merit and find the top team for that figure of merit but wasn’t able to do so in time.
In other words, the magic black box liked Oil Ooze for some reason.

True, you are the Condorcet winner. :P

When I read in the main post that the inclusion of Oil Ooze was confusing, I thought my magic box might be the guilty one!
I’m perfectly happy not to claim any sort of prize.
I only got the elements due to Measure.
I only dropped the Nightmare due to Maxwell Peterson.
Also, I have no idea what I’d even ask for as a scenario.
Neither do I; I was just seeking the glory of (slightly tarnished due to hypothetical rule change) victory.
