What would be the formula to calculate % rank based on the following data:
1193 Wins 1197 Losses
And as a result I would like to get a % rank something like 92.6%
I would appreciate your help,
thank you.

Is this a programming question? If so, what language? Also, you need to give a more precise definition of "rank". – Snowball Aug 23 '12 at 22:00

It will be in PHP but I need the formula first. I am not sure how to define the rank. I was thinking something about (Wins / (Wins + Losses)) * 100 But that is too simple for being a rank. So, how to make it more accurate. Maybe to implement some average values. – devjs11 Aug 23 '12 at 22:09

It's really up to you how you choose to rank. If you're tracking wins/losses individually, you could even end up with a situation where A wins against B, B wins against C, and C wins against A. – Snowball Aug 23 '12 at 22:12
