The win rate is the percentage of games won in sports such as baseball and games.
In sports such as baseball or games, the win rate is calculated by dividing the number of wins by the number of games played. Drawn games are usually excluded from the total.
Win rate = wins / (wins + losses)
Winning percentage is the share of games a team has won, usually expressed to three decimals like .650. It is the standard way to compare teams that have played different numbers of games.
Enter the number of wins, losses and ties to calculate the winning percentage.
Win rate is wins divided by decided games, so excluding draws changes the figure considerably: 10 wins, 5 draws and 10 losses is 40 % of all games but 50 % of decided ones. Korean baseball and most league tables use the decided-game version, which is why a team with many draws can sit above where its raw percentage suggests.
Win % = Wins / (Wins + Losses [+ Ties × 0.5])Conventionally a tie counts as half a win and half a loss, so it is added as 0.5 in both the numerator and denominator. That keeps a season of all ties at .500.
A .500 record means the team has won exactly half its games — the break-even point. Teams above .500 are described as having a winning record, those below as a losing record.
In points terms that is what association football does, awarding one point for a draw against three for a win. The convention must be stated, because the two methods produce different rankings.
Add the difference in wins to the difference in losses and halve the result. A team with 40 wins and 25 losses is (10 + 5) / 2 = 7.5 games behind a leader on 50 wins and 20 losses.
