A simple approximation is derived to relate the complex pole in a resonant partial-wave {ital T}-matrix amplitude to the conventional Breit-Wigner parameters that describe the scattering resonance. The approximation is tested by using well-established resonance parameters for the {Delta}(1232)3/2{sup +}. This new result facilitates a comparison of both Breit-Wigner parameters and pole positions for 17 resonances described by four major analyses of {pi}{ital N} scattering.
