How is the +/- stat calculated?

The plus minus column (+/-) shows your team's point difference while a player is in the game. So if your team outscores the opponent by 10 points while Sally is in the game, then her +/- is +10. However, if the opponent outscores your team by 3 points while Jane is in the game, then Jane's +/- is -3. The game clock is not necessary for the +/- stat to be accurate, you only need to track all points for you & your opponent in the game.
