The Léger test requires the first level to be run at 8.5 km/h. Some organizations require it to be run at 8.0 km/h. Note that the second level is always [4] run at 9.0 km/h. Also, speeds at subsequent levels always increment by 0.5 km/h. The impact of this variation is insignificant as almost all runners' scores easily exceed level 1.
The league adjustment is a minor adjustment (usually 0-5 runs per season) added so each league's runs above average balances out to zero. [15] Finally, since all the previous run values are relative to league average, replacement runs are added to compare the player to a replacement level player. [15]
For example, in a cricket match a sports spread betting firm may list the spread of a team's predicted runs at 340 – 350. The gambler can elect to ‘buy’ at 350 if they think the team will score more than 350 runs in total, or sell at 340 if they think the team will score less than 340.
Initially the correlation between the formula and actual winning percentage was simply an experimental observation. In 2003, Hein Hundal provided an inexact derivation of the formula and showed that the Pythagorean exponent was approximately 2/(σ √ π) where σ was the standard deviation of runs scored by all teams divided by the average number of runs scored.

A rain delay at The Oval, England Scoreboard at Trent Bridge indicating that bad light has stopped play.. The Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method (DLS method or DLS) previously known as the Duckworth–Lewis method (D/L) is a mathematical formulation designed to calculate the target score (number of runs needed to win) for the team batting second in a limited overs cricket match interrupted by ...
1 troy ounce of four nines fine gold (999.9) Nines are an informal logarithmic notation for proportions very near to one or, equivalently, percentages very near 100%. Put simply, "nines" are the number of consecutive nines in a percentage such as 99% (two nines) [1] or a decimal fraction such as 0.999 (three nines).
5 Canadian Ben Johnson was the sixth runner to achieve the feat (having recorded multiple finishes under ten seconds), some of the runs were rescinded after Johnson admitted to using steroids between 1981 and 1988. But his 9.95 which he broke the barrier is valid and could be found on the website of world athletics.
Five nines, commonly taken to mean "99.999%", may refer to: High availability of services, when a service is available for 99.999% of the time, or around 5 minutes of downtime per year; Nine (purity), a 99.999% pure substance; German 15 cm (5.9 in) artillery shells used in World War I
