Sports Guides

Understand the formulas, rules and statistics behind the tools, with clear worked examples.

Learn the concepts behind each tool

Sports4u guides explain how calculations work, when to use them and where rules can change the outcome. Read the guide related to your task, work through the sample numbers and then open the linked calculator to try your own input.

The cricket guides cover run-rate arithmetic and tournament net run rate; football content explains league scoring and standings; running articles separate pace from speed; basketball examples clarify shooting percentages; and tournament guides show how round-robin match counts and fixtures are organized.

Reading a formula correctly

Check which units appear in the denominator, whether scores are based on an individual match or a series of matches, and whether the example assumes standard regulations. This reduces mistakes when moving from an educational example to an actual tournament.
