they base the better team by Goal difference and if thats tied then they look at # of goals scored and if thats tied then they look at the winner of the match between the two teams....and thats all i know up to

Depending on the side of the ball you come from... Based on the way things are going?  Payroll  Because you can buy a great team and build a winning tradition.  The team may not win the World Series every year but they will always be in contention.\n\nIf you want real stats from a analitical point on players:\n\nTraditionally, statistics like batting average for batters (the number of hits divided by the number of at bats) and earned run average (approximately the number of runs given up by a pitcher per nine innings) have governed the statistical world of baseball. However, the advent of sabermetrics brought an onslaught of new statistics that better gauge a player's performance and contributions to his team from year to year.\n\nSome sabermetric statistics have entered the mainstream baseball world. Among statistics that do an excellent job of measuring a batter's performance, On-base plus slugging (OPS) is the easiest to calculate. It adds the hitter's on base percentage ([hits + walks + number of times hit by pitches] divided by [number of times at bat + walks + number of times hit by a pitch + number of sacrifice flies]) to his or her slugging percentage (total bases divided by at bats). Some argue that the OPS formula is flawed and that more weight should be shifted towards OBP (on base percentage). Regardless, OPS still stands as the most direct means of evaluating a hitter's performance using readily available statistics.

You work with the team. You come to practices and help them in practice. Your in charge of making sure all the balls and equipment are put away at the end of practice. You also have to be there at all the games and sometimes they make you in charge of refreshing the teammates or keeping track of the scores. Usually they have a parent or someone else keep stats but I'm not totally sure. And don't worry on what to do, the coaches will fill you in on everything you have to do.

The +/- stat is for individual players. When a player is on the ice and his team scores a goal, he gets +1. When he is on the ice and the other team scores a goal, he gets -1. So if a player has a +20 rating, his team scored 20 more goals than they gave up while he was on the ice.

I don't know why they don't but if you want to know scores check out this website. It has quite a few scores on it. It has live stats.

That number represents the minute of the game at which they scored the goal.  If, for example, the number says 71', that means the goal was scored 71 minutes into the game!\n\nThat's all there is to it!

Well the question is general but I like to get down to answering specifically....it depends on the sport and purpose in sport....let's see if you catch on to the variety here:\n\nScoring: arithmetic    (i.e. bowling, ping-pong)\nGambling: probability  (i.e. horse racing, NCAA basketball)\nMechanical equipment:   calculus/analysis, differential equations  (i.e. NASCAR, luge)\nPlayer Stats:   statistics/probability   (i.e. football, baseball)\nInsurance/Salaries: economics, game theory, actuarial math (i.e. Anna Kournikova)

Good question.\n\nEach sport has it's Greatest performer. The standard changes with each decade.\n\nThere are many ways to measure Greatness in sports. Statistics is one, Consistency of performance is another.\n\nBabe Ruth is considered the greatest Base ball player of all time. \n\nMohammed Ali is considered one of the worlds greatest Boxers in the Ring...Ali was never knocked out.\n\n Sports Records are broken every year. So, the competition to excel keeps increasing.\n\nTiger Woods may be on his way to becoming the greatest winner of all time, both in Golf Matches won and his monetary rewards.\n\nThe Base ball and basket ball Hall of Frame takes the best players from each sport and asks the "Public" to vote for their admission to the Hall of Fame. It is very difficult to be inducted into the "Hall of Fame"....injuries to athletes is a great risk.

It's not an official stat anymore.  There will be a stats geek somewhere that keeps it though, Try the hockey news they are usually good at keeping things like that.

I'm definitely not an expert but, I think it is the advancement of sports, in general, technologically. For example, the difference in today's safety equipment in football and yesterdays equipment. Past to present, the changes that has led up to what see in sports today. All dealing with technology.
