G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Team A ........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grhqofb5 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Team B ............... If you account for the ties, then the teams are even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GibbsFactor Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Team A has a .600 winning %. Team B has a .500 winning percentage. If this were Hockey, Team B would have more points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacky McSlackAss Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Depends on how you define record. If it's wins/total games then it's Team A. If teams get credit for ties, then depends on how much credit they get and that could change the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pwyl Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Not sure if this is "right" but it's the way I would calculate it: wins losses wins losses 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0.5 0.5 1 0.5 0.5 1 6 4 0.6 6 4 0.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilmer17 Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 I want to use soccer scoring. 3 points for a win, 1 for a tie. But the rest of the board says no. It's a quandry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grhqofb5 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 In the NFL, a tie will raise your winning percentage if it is below .500, and will lower your winning percentage if it is above .500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsburySkinsFan Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 In the NFL, a tie will raise your winning percentage if it is below .500, and will lower your winning percentage if it is above .500. :secret: that's because it counts as half a win, and if you're losing then you're already -.500 and since .500 is > than -.500 of course it will raise it.

No, Its for a division higher than the one I coach in. There is no set scoring system. Which is of course, why it's an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twa Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I don't know about in soccer,but in real sports the records would be a tie and move to tiebreakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsburySkinsFan Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 No, Its for a division higher than the one I coach in. Ahh ok, just checking. There is no set scoring system. Which is of course, why it's an issue. I assume (hope) that the season hasn't started yet. What system does the rest of the board want to use? Personally in soccer I prefer a tie to equal .500, 1/3 is rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOF44 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 If there are no backup rules in place like most points scored etc. then I think a resort to the coin flip would be appropriate, unless a 2 teamplayoff could be arranged. Then next season add a tiebreak to the rules for cases like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same points in hockey, I think: Team A- 6 wins 4 losses no ties --- 6 * 2 = 12 Team B- 5 Wins 3 Losses 2 ties --- 5 * 2 + 2 * 1 = 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer17 Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 This is for a baseball league. The season is over. And one of these teams will get the higher seed, and avoid the dominant team until at least the championship game. Our league is set up where the coaches in the lower division, act as the board for the higher and vice versa. Some on the board want to treat the ties as "no game" and therefor give team B a winning percentage of 625. Which is asinine to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a game, and it was shown that on that day team B was not better and not worse than its competitor. You can't say there was no game. They just didn't win, and they didn't lose. Even though I have no stake, this kind of thing annoys me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOF44 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Did they play head to head? Could go with the winner. Or who had the most wins against other teams with the best records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
