How it works Under a minute

Win Ratio normalizes the Win/Loss record by dividing wins by games played. It's Win Percentage applied in a league standings context.

How it works: Wins divided by total games. Draws can optionally count as half a win. A minimum games threshold can be set to avoid volatility from small samples.

When to use it: When schedules are uneven and players have different numbers of games. It creates a fair comparison regardless of how often someone plays.

Watch out for: Players with few games can have extreme ratios. Use the minGames configuration to set eligibility thresholds.
