Point differential in sports… What is it and why is it important?
In: Mathematics
It’s often used as a tie-breaker in league formats. For example, most football/soccer leagues award teams 3 points for a win, and one for a draw. If two teams have the same number of points based on wins/draws, then the team with the better goal difference (goals scored minus goals conceded) will get the higher league position.
