Plus/Minus Win Percent

A P in the game column represents a positive +/- for that game. M = a negative number, 0 = neutral, n/a means the player didn\'t play. A player gets a W for a game in which his numbers are +, and L if their negative, a neutral game counts as half a win and half a loss. 40Min is a projection of a players plus minus numbers over a whole game.
