isnt it wins/draw/loss?

i got 11/2/7 (w/d/l)

I won like 5 times in a row then lost like 3 times in a row

[EnFuego]

isnt it wins/draw/loss?

In the US it is generally represented by win/loss/ties


I went to random.org and generated 20 random numbers and used those to determine what I played. I ended up 8 wins 4 losses and 8 ties

[lmartins]

9/8/3 (w/d/l)

I only played scissors twice for what its worth.

[Blink]

8-6-6

Got +9 -3 =8 and quickly closed the tab... no good can come out of this.
