Formula used: 0 ÷ 0 × 100 = 0.00%
Example: NFL Season Analysis
Season Record
Total Games: 16
Wins: 10
Losses: 5
Ties: 1
Calculation Steps
1. Include ties: (10 + 0.5 × 1) = 10.5 effective wins
2. Total games: 16
3. Winning percentage: (10.5 ÷ 16) × 100 = 65.63%
4. Win/Loss ratio: 10 ÷ 5 = 2.00
Result: Good performance (65.63%)
Performance Benchmarks

Calculation Notes
Basic Formula
Winning % = Wins ÷ Total Games × 100
With Ties
Winning % = (Wins + 0.5 × Ties) ÷ Total Games × 100
Win/Loss Ratio
Ratio = Wins ÷ Losses
Games Over .500

Understanding Winning Percentage
What is Winning Percentage?
Winning percentage is a statistical measure that represents the proportion of games won by a team or player over a specific period. It's expressed as a percentage and is fundamental in evaluating sports performance across all competitive leagues.
Why Include Ties?
In sports where ties are possible (like NFL, soccer, hockey), ties are typically counted as half a win. This reflects that a tie is better than a loss but not as good as a win, providing a more accurate representation of team performance.
