Regular Season

Brief explanation gaming operations and table structure

The AL and the NL are each divided for the operation of gambling in three divisions. The assignment is based on regional criteria: East, Central and West Division.

The table placements are responsible for reaching the postseason: the three respective division winners and the second-best winning percentage after the team played in three rounds of the championship in the American or National League from. The respective champions then meet each other in the World Series.

The ranking of teams in the table above it during the season basically from the current ratio of wins to games overall as so-called Winning Percentage. The reason for this is the uneven distribution of games on the calendar, so that some teams have since played three or more games more than others. Thus, for example, the balance of a team A with 15 victories and 15 defeats ( .500 expressed as the corresponding percentage ) for exactly equivalent considered with the balance of a team B, which scored 16 victories and 16 defeats at the same time. For the final tables but this is irrelevant, since the end of the season all teams have played since 1961 usual 162 season games. Therefore, disclosure of victories and defeats ranges ( Draws are uncommon ).

By entering GB (Games Behind ) is documented, how late a tracker on the table is first. This is expressed, how many wins the tracker at the same time defeat the leader theoretically needed to achieve equal status. The specification is expressed precisely to 0.5 GB Games: If, for example, Team A 10 wins and 5 losses, Team B, however, 9 wins and 5 losses, a victory would already own ( without a loss of A) lead to table tie.
