Old chinese proverb.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and
you feed him for a lifetime".

You can create a formula in a cell by entering an equals "=" sign, and
then completing a formula.

A formula typically consists of typing the reference to one cell (e.g.
"A2" means the cell in column A row 2, then typing something you want
to do with that cell (an operator) like for instance Add "+", Multiply
" * ", subtract "-", divide "/" etc, and then typing the reference to
another cell.

So for instance if you have the number 2 in cell A1 and the number 3
in A2, if you put =A1+A2 in cell A3, you will see the answer 5

Similarly if you put =A2*3 in A3 you will see the answer 9, i.e. three
(the value of the A2 cell) times three.

You can extend this idea and mix operators and have formula like say

=A1*2+B1*3

this will multiply A1 by A2 and add the result of B1 multipled by B2

Now to your table.

The only relevant numbers for your calculation are the Win and Draw
numbers since these are the only ones that count for a points total.

You need to decide which cells contain these numbers, which cell you
will use for your formula and which operators to use.

Go ahead and try using these ideas. Post back if you are really stuck.
