      <h1>Frequently Asked Questions</h1>

      <h3>How are ratings determined?</h3>
      Our servers analyze every play of every game and rate it based on the excitement of the play and its relevance to the outcome.
      The game rating is the combination of each of the individual plays.  Many factors are considered, but usually blow-outs rate
      poorly and nail-biters rate well.  Games that are close thoughout the entire game with multiple lead changes will rate better than
      games that only become close at the very end.
      
      <h3>What do the star ratings mean?</h3>
      There is approximately the same number of games at each star rating.  So if there were exactly 210 games rated, there would be
      10 games rated zero stars, 10 games rated 1/4 stars, 10 games rated 1/2 stars, etc.  In other words, only 20% of games receive
      4 stars or better.  40% of games receive 3 stars or better.  60% of games receive 2 stars or better.  80% of games receive 1 star
      or better.  We generally find that games rated 2 stars are enjoyable.  By 3&nbsp;1/2 stars, the games are exceptional.
      
      <h3>What do all the colors mean?</h3>
      Yellow stars indicate that the game is complete and the rating is finalized.  Blue stars indicate that the game either 
      hasn&#39;t started or is in progress.  Gray backgrounds are regular season games.  Green backgrounds are preseason.  Red 
      backgrounds are post season.
      
      <h3>What is Pass/Fail?</h3>
      Some of our users find that knowing the exact star rating of a game spoils some of the fun in watching.  They want to weed out
      the really boring games, but be surprised if the game is really exciting.  Pass/Fail lets you choose the star rating of games you
      like to watch.  Games rated worse than the Pass/Fail setting will show zero stars.  Games rated better than the Pass/Fail setting
      will show five stars.
      
      <h3>When I click on the game tiles, they are marked #1, #2, etc.  Why?</h3>
      This feature allows you to compare the rating of selected games.  This is especially useful when used in conjunction with the
      Pass/Fail feature described above.  For example, if you were trying to decide which of three Pass(ing) games you want to watch, 
      select all three of them and watch whichever is #1.
