Does anyone have an Excel template for keeping team standings? Need one that calculates Games Behind, Percentage, etc. I know the Percentage c alculation is easy, but don’t know how to handle the Games Behind. Thanks.

If the standings are team X a wins and b losses and team Y c wins and d losses

then games behind is (a - c + d - b)/2
