In baseball statistics, total chances (TC), also called chances offered, represents the number of plays in which a defensive player has participated. It is calculated as follows: Total Chances (chances offered) = assists + putouts + errors. Chances accepted (flawless chances) refers to the total of putouts and assists only. Fielding percentage is calculated as chances accepted (flawless chances) divided by total chances (chances offered). Double plays and {passed balls]] are not part of the calculation.
