The composite printed directly on FIBA and EuroLeague sheets. It adds every positive event and subtracts every negative one, with no weighting at all. NBA sheets do not carry it.

How it is worked out

(PTS + REB + AST + STL + BLK + FD) − (FGA − FGM) − (FTA − FTM) − TOV − BLKA − PF

Worked through

Twenty-five points, seven boards, five assists, two steals, a block and six fouls drawn, less seven missed shots, one missed free throw, three turnovers and two fouls: 46 − 13 = 33.

What it leaves out

The lack of weighting is the flaw: a rebound and a point count the same. It is generous to bigs who fill columns and harsh on spacing shooters who do not. Note also that the EFF printed on NBA stat sites is a different expression — it leaves out fouls drawn, blocked attempts and fouls committed — so the two numbers are not interchangeable.

One term down, the whole sheet to go

The numbers on a sheet lean on each other. How many free throws appear depends on the team foul count; how many rebounds exist depends on how both teams shot. Reading a whole game means reading them together.
