Important: this is not the official DLS method

The official Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method uses licensed resource data and detailed match-state calculations. Tool Nova does not reproduce those proprietary tables.

This estimator is designed for informal what-if scenarios only. Official match targets should always come from the match officials or competition system.
