How Ringer calculates it

successeseligible opportunities

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ExcludedDrafts, voided or superseded revisions, non-strokes, unusable locations, and attempts missing a measurement required by this formula.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 an off-green short-game opportunity beginning 50 yards or closer to the hole. It is an up-and-down when the player holes out in no more than two strokes from that starting position.
