Common Questions
Should I round the result?
Keep the displayed decimal for comparison. Round count-based results only when reconstructing an actual whole-number stat line.
Can I compare different leagues or data providers?
You can, but definitions and recording practices can differ. Verify that both samples use the same statistic before drawing conclusions.
Does this result predict future performance?
No. It summarizes the entered sample and does not forecast future outcomes by itself.
