Accuracy and Limitations
Use earned runs rather than total runs and record partial innings as outs, not decimal tenths. League scoring decisions determine which runs are earned.
Keep units consistent, use measurements that represent the actual situation, retain full precision during the calculation, and round only the final answer. Professional decisions may require current official rules, field measurements, laboratory methods, or specialist review.
