IBM Award

The IBM Award was calculated with the following formula: :\frac{(\mathrm{plyr\ PTS}-\mathrm{plyr\ FGA}+\mathrm{plyr\ REB}+\mathrm{ plyr\ AST}+\mathrm{plyr\ STL}+\mathrm{plyr\ BLK}-\mathrm{plyr\ PF}-\mathrm{plyr\ TO}+(\mathrm{team\ wins}\times10))\times250}{\mathrm{team\ PTS}-\mathrm{team\ FGA}+\mathrm{team\ REB}+\mathrm{team\ AST}+\mathrm{team\ STL}+\mathrm{team\ BLK}-\mathrm{team\ PF}-\mathrm{team\ TO}} In the formula, plyr stands for player, PTS stands for points, FGA stands for field goal attempts, REB stands for rebounds, AST stands for assists, STL stands for steals, BLK stands for blocks, PF stands for personal fouls, and TO stands for turnovers. The award was given to the player with the highest total. The formula bears some resemblance to player efficiency rating, and many winners of the IBM award were calculated to have finished at or near the top in player efficiency rating in their award-winning seasons. ==Notes==
