Question
Explain the methods of deciding the winner in league tournament.
✓
Answer
British Method: Divide the total points obtained by the total possible points. For example, if a team plays 8 matches in a tournament and wins 6 matches and 2 remain draw, the percentage of points will be.
Total points = 12 + 2 = 4
Possible points = 16
Percentage of points $=\frac{\text{Total points obtained}}{\text{Total possible points} }\times100$
Percentage of points $=\frac{14}{16}\times 100 = 87.5$
American Method: Divide the number of games won by the total number of games played. If a team plays 8 games and wins 5 games in a tournament, then.
Percentage $=\frac{\text{Matches won}}{\text{Matches played}}\times100$
Its percentage will be $=\frac{5}{8}\times100=62.5$
In this way the percentage of other teams may be calculated. In this method, tie is not counted.
