A friend of mine and I were having a discussion on win percentage in football. He said if a team is 0-0-1, that they have a .000 win percentage. I said that team's win percentage should be .500.
I told him that ties in football count as half a win in terms of percentage points. For example, in 2002, the Atlanta Falcons were 9-6-1. Their win percentage was .594, the same as 9.5/16.
His argument was that if a team didn't have a win, their percentage would be 0. I said that it was .500 because they didn't lose the game, either. Who is correct?
