Numeric inputs, where present, must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use Hockey GAA Calculator: Goals-against average normalizes conceded goals to a caller regulation duration. Observed playing time is the exposure. For a complementary task, use Rugby Goal Kick Success Percent: Goal-kick success is conditional on actual kick opportunities. Pooling counts avoids equal weighting of unequal match exposures.
