			STANDINGS

League or Conference and Division Standings using possible wins as the 
main criteria for ranking the teams. This is what they talk about in the 
media but never show you. It's called the all important loss column.

You can win more games, but you cannot lose fewer games. Thus possible 
wins is one of the best gauges of a teams performance. This also allows 
you to calculate the Magic Number that will eliminate a team from 
the championship race.

Possible wins is the number of wins a team would achieve if they won 
all of their remaining games.

Games behind is the number of games behind the leader in possible wins 
that a team must win or the leader lose to capture first place.

Pace is the number of games a team would win if they would maintain the 
same winning percentage for the entire season.

Magic Number is the number of additional leading team victories and the 
teams losses that would make it a mathematical impossibility to win the 
league or division championship.

All you need to do is enter the Won / Loss record for each team. It's 
easier than a spread sheet. Do it daily or weekly or when ever you feel 
like it. It's fun to watch the teams being eliminated and others fighting 
for a position in the playoffs, especially if your favorite team is winning.

The Wild Card Race eliminates the leading team in each division. In case 
of a tie, the first team displayed on the division standings is not shown.
