Line 1:

'''+/-''' - Players and teams and attributes are often referred to using a +/- system. A player's +/- is determined by converting each attribute from its word rating to a +/- number. Exc = +2, Good = +1, Fair = 0, Poor = -1, None = -2. By summing a player's attributes a +/- ranking is determined. A player with the attributes PEGNGF could be described as a +4/-3 or +1. If a team starts five "Good" defenders they may be described as "starting +5 defense". Note that each word rating describes a range of actual skill level, so that +/- is only an approximation of actual talent.
