| In [[sports]], a '''winning percentage''' is the [[fraction (mathematics)|fraction]] of games or matches a team or individual has won. It is defined as wins divided by wins plus losses (i.e. the total number of matches). Ties count as a ½ loss and a ½ win. Winning percentage is one way to compare the record of two teams; however, another standard method most frequently used in [[baseball]] and professional [[basketball]] standings is [[games behind]].
| |
| | |
| For example, if a team's season record is 28–16–5 (i.e., it has won twenty-eight games, lost sixteen and tied five times), the team has participated in 49 matches. The five ties represent 2½ wins and 2½ losses, and so the team has an adjusted record of 30½ wins and 18½ losses, resulting in a {{winpct|28|16|5}} winning percentage.
| |
| | |
| In [[baseball]], [[pitcher]]s are assessed wins and losses as an individual [[statistic]] and thus have his or her own winning percentage, based on his or her [[win–loss record (pitching)|win–loss record]]. A pitcher's winning percentage is commonly expressed to three digits.
| |
| | |
| The name "winning ''percentage''" is actually a misnomer, since a winning percentage, such as .536, is commonly not expressed as a [[percentage]]. The same value expressed as a percentage would be 53.6%. In leagues in which points are awarded for ties and overtime losses, it is possible for a team to have a winning percentage above 0.500 (50%) despite losing more than half of the games it has played.

| In [[ice hockey]], standings are determined by points, not wins, changing the nature of this statistic. In the [[National Hockey League]], teams are awarded two points for a win, and one point for either a tie (a discontinued statistic) or an overtime loss. Since this calculation is not based solely on wins, the statistic is called '''points percentage'''.<ref>{{cite web |title= Career Leaders and Records for Points Percentage (Goalie) |url= http://www.hockey-reference.com/leaders/points_pct_goalie_career.html |publisher= Hockey-Reference.com |accessdate= 24 May 2009 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title= 2008–2009 – REGULAR SEASON – SUMMARY – POINT PERCENTAGE |url= http://www.nhl.com/ice/teamstats.htm?fetchKey=20092ALLAAAAll&sort=pointPctg&viewName=summary |publisher= NHL.com |accessdate= 24 May 2009 }}</ref> It can be calculated as follows:
| |
| | |
| :<math>\mathrm{Points}\ \mathrm{percentage} = \frac{\mathrm{Points}}{\mathrm{Total \ possible \ points}}
| |
