Strange but true, WIN%

[Stryker]

Can anyone explain this? I have played 140 battles of which I have won 70 and failed to win 70, but my WIN percentage is .575
surely that should read .500 :conf:

I'm never going to get a wooden cross at this rate!! :hissy:

Maybe it's just the "new math"... :smoke:

[Jason Petho]

And how many did you draw?

Take care and good luck

Yes I thought of that and I guess that's why, but it does say WIN%, percentage of matches won or not won and a draw is not a win :P

This is for winning percentages calculations only.

It is becasue each win is worth 2 points, a draw 1 point and a loss 0 points.

So you could have earned 280 points in 140 matches. You earned 161 points: (70 Wins x2) + (21 Draws x1) + (49 Loses x0) = 161.

161 divided by 280 = .575 Winning PCT.

Thanx!

Ah, that makes sense, thanks Hawk. It was just something that had been nagging at me for a while :)
