I want to know. Thanks, > Jerry. That depends. Several people have written software to calculate the Ratings Percentage index. The version I wrote uses the scorefile from maine directly. Since that scorefile lists the game as a 3-2 win, my version of the software treats it as such. I've posted this to the list instead of replying directly because there are at least 3 other versions of the RPICH program floating around, and I'm curious about how the others handle this event. charlie shub University of Colorado at Colorado Springs [log in to unmask] -or- [log in to unmask] (719) 593 3492 (fax) 593-3369 HOCKEY-L is for discussion of college ice hockey; send information to [log in to unmask], The College Hockey Information List.
