If team 1 and team 2 both have won the same number of games they're tied, so we need to calculate the score quotient. But let's say the have no score against in any of their games, only score for. My question is then, how do you calculate the score quotient when the divisor is `0`? The post is not about deciding how the tie-breaker is resolved, but how a quotient is usually calculated in a ranking system when the divisor is 0.
