winning percentage

Victories over attempts

Winning percentage is the ratio of wins to total games played, expressed as a decimal or percentage.

It measures success in sports and competitions: The team finished the season with a .750 winning percentage.

In baseball, winning percentage traditionally uses three decimal places without a leading zero.

The calculation divides wins by total games, though some sports count ties as half-wins.
