1. What is Pass Completion Percentage?

Pass completion percentage is a key statistic in high school football that measures a quarterback's accuracy and efficiency. It represents the percentage of pass attempts that are successfully completed to receivers.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the pass completion percentage formula:

Where:

• \( Completions \) — Number of successful pass completions
• \( Attempts \) — Total number of pass attempts

Explanation: The formula calculates the ratio of successful completions to total attempts, then multiplies by 100 to convert to a percentage.

3. Importance of Pass Completion Percentage

Details: This metric is crucial for evaluating quarterback performance, offensive efficiency, and team success. Higher completion percentages typically indicate better offensive execution and quarterback accuracy.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the number of completions and total pass attempts. Completions must be less than or equal to attempts, and attempts must be greater than zero.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is considered a good completion percentage in high school football?
A: A completion percentage above 60% is generally considered excellent, 50-60% is good, and below 50% indicates room for improvement.

Q2: Does this include all types of passes?
A: Yes, the calculation includes all forward pass attempts, regardless of distance or type (short, medium, long).

Q3: What about dropped passes?
A: Dropped passes that hit the receiver's hands are still counted as incomplete attempts, not completions.

Q4: How does this differ from NFL/college statistics?
A: The calculation method is the same, but the typical percentages may vary due to differences in skill level and defensive schemes.

Q5: Should spikes or throwaways be counted as attempts?
A: Yes, intentional throwaways and spikes are counted as pass attempts but not as completions.
