How Ringer calculates it

Evidence rules

IncludedOnly current, confirmed shots assigned to this category with usable start and finish evidence.

ExcludedDrafts, voided or superseded revisions, non-strokes, unusable locations, and attempts missing a measurement required by this formula.

DenominatorThe number of eligible attempts after the stated exclusions—not every hole or every round by default.

Missing dataIf no eligible denominator remains, Ringer returns unavailable and displays “—”, never 0% or NaN.

Classification

Derived from measured Approach misses with a target position. A miss is long when the finish passes beyond the target on the target-line axis; green hits and shots without usable target geometry are excluded.
