Assumptions and limitations

  • Counts are nonnegative whole numbers. At least one recorded chance is required.
  • The displayed output is a decimal fraction: 0.950 means 95%.
  • These counts describe recorded fielding outcomes. The ratio alone does not measure range or compare different defensive opportunities.
  • An inverse may be nonunique at zero or one. For example, zero errors and a fraction of one do not determine an unknown number of putouts.

Common questions

What happens with no recorded chances?

The ratio is undefined because its denominator is zero; enter at least one chance.

References

Bookify requires whole fielding counts, at least one chance, and a fraction between zero and one.
