About Promotion Relegation Odds Calculator

The required rate is the points still needed divided by matches remaining, compared against the rate achieved so far and against the arithmetic ceiling of three points a game. A required rate above the current one is the honest signal that form has to change, and above 3.0 means the target is already gone.
