Never herd of rounding off less than the half way mark to the next whole number.
I'm glad the IRS and comptrollers office has not caught on to this .
The rounding up makes sense to me. First there is no way you can try to get an exact calculation of time played. What if he was injured for 3 plays in a game. Do you take the total number of plays and calculate his actual percentage of competition? That would be impossible to enforce. So a game played is a game played be it one play or all plays. Then comes the question of rounding up or down. In this case it is more fair to the athlete to round up. It gives him the most playing time within the spirit of the rules.
Now as far as the IRS, when they agree to 20% of my income,they can round my gross up to the next highest dollar.
