Frequently asked questions
What does Football Goal Difference assume?
A negative result means more goals conceded than scored. Enter totals from the same competition period.
Are results a recommendation or live sports record?
No. This calculates the stated model from entered values. It does not fetch results, decide a safe training programme or apply unstated competition rules.
How are units, counts and rounding handled?
Actual entity counts must be whole. Selected units label matching inputs and outputs without converting entered quantities. Durations round to the nearest second; percentages to two decimals; stated averages use their documented precision. Very small non-zero values are labelled instead of being shown as zero.
