Best Answer

Suppose Team A is in first place and you want to know how many games back Team B is. Compute the following: (Wins for A)+(Losses for B)-(Losses for A)-(Wins for B), and divide the result by two. See how it works: If A and B play each other and A wins, then (Wins for A) and (Losses for B) both go up by one, so the number of games behind increases by one; likewise, if B wins, (Losses for A) and (Wins for B) increase, so the number of games behind decreases by one.
