The golden rule: your definition matters less than its CONSISTENCY. Pick your criteria before the season, write them down, and never change them: that is what makes SCF% and PDO comparable game to game. In RinkLog, two buttons (team chance, opponent chance) are enough, and the advanced stats derive automatically.
- Shot or look from the slot: yes
- Breakaway, 2-on-1, 3-on-2: yes
- Rebound in front of the net: yes
- Point shot with no tip or traffic: no
- Sharp-angle shot from along the boards: no
RinkLog measures and computes all of this automatically during your hockey, ball hockey and ringette games.

Frequently asked questions
What counts as a scoring chance in hockey?
A clear goal opportunity: a shot or look from the slot, an odd-man rush (2-on-1, breakaway) or a point-blank rebound. A point shot with no traffic or deflection generally does not count.
Who decides what counts as a scoring chance?
Whoever is tracking the game, as long as the definition is set before the season and never changes. Consistency matters more than the exact criteria chosen, because it is what makes SCF% comparable from game to game.
