How these are calculated

With South Africa's own numbers substituted in

Win rate

Wins ÷ Games × 100 = 300 ÷ 914 × 100 = 32.8%

Draws are in the denominator: a draw is a game that happened.

Draw rate

Draws ÷ (W + D + L) × 100 = 173 ÷ 914 × 100 = 18.9%

Average rating

Sum of ratings ÷ Rated players = over 34 of 38 = 1,788

Unrated players are left out entirely rather than counted as zero.

Games per player

Games ÷ Registered players = 914 ÷ 38 = 24.1

Across everybody, including those who have not played.
