How so? Ties count as 1/2 a win. So 0-13-2 record equates to a .067 winning percentage (1/15).

Now back to your regularly scheduled shenanigans....

Ok, President Gee..

There's a call for you on line 6.

Dear scUM,

Must be that new math.

I stand with LJB. That is how you calculate win % with ties.

Really? All this and a helicopter mom? Well, she's bound to provide a ton of comic relief along the way. Can't wait until she gets unhappy with the hairball's handling of her precious. Does she have a public twitter & facebook account?

Every Marine here knows what I'm talking about.

Please tell me she's going with him?

Oh, I'm 100% sure he is right.

I just think that is stupid - a tie isn't a win so it shouldn't be included in a "win percentage". I guess.

I used to think so, too, but then how can you have a winning percentage of 1.000 (implying you've won all your games) if your record is, say, 12-0-2 (only actually won 12 of your 14 games)?

Right, but a tie also isn't a loss, hence the half-point. If you were 0-13-2 you don't have a losing percentage of 1.000, so you cannot have a winning percentage of 0.000.

*sigh* Remember the days when sports weren't so cut-throat that ties were an acceptable outcome?

 

[JCOSU86]

sorry I started this inane conversation.

Mili: in that case you would not have a winning percentage of 100. It would be 12/14.

Dryden: Same with losing percentage, it wouldn't be 100, it would be 13/15.

To take this incredibly irrelevant point to a even more irrelevant conclusion: I guess there would be a "tie percentage"

I would like to interject one point into this conversation.

Fuck M*ch*g*n. They are 1.000 losers.

 

[Jaxbuck]

Call it a "didn't lose percentage" and it covers everyone's semantical demands (I think).

It is truly the off season.
