So, I managed to derail a PGT today with my confusion over the use of this phrase.
Put simply, if a team is 10-0 (ignoring the loser point for simplicity), then how many games over .500 are they?
A) 5
B) 10
I hope it's fair to say that those who choose A) understand the phrase "number of games over .500" to mean "number of games more than half" and that people who answer B) understand it to mean "number of wins minus losses" or "number of losses it would take to reach .500".
I honestly have no interest in bickering any further about this. I'm just curious to see what the popular understanding is.
Thanks!
