Detailed breakdown of how Malikai's M-S-C-O tiebreaks were calculated. Tiebreaks are used to order players who finish with the same score, in the order M, then S, then C, then O. Byes have no opponent, so they are listed but not counted in the opponent-based tiebreaks.

M - Modified Mean [4.0]

The Modified Mean adds up the scores of every opponent Malikai Ward has played, then discards one of them depending on how Malikai Ward is doing.

Malikai's score (0.0 of 5.0 possible) is less than 50% of the possible points, so the highest opponent score is discarded.

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score	Counted?
1	Corbin Avolio	2.0	Counted
2	Lee Caza	2.0	Counted
3	Hunter Stearns	3.0	Discarded
5	Bye	—	Not counted
Modified Mean		4.0

S - Solkoff [7.0]

The Solkoff is the combined score of every opponent Malikai Ward has played, with nothing discarded. A higher Solkoff means Malikai Ward faced tougher opposition.

3	Hunter Stearns	3.0
5	Bye — not counted	—

C - Cumulative [0.0]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together Malikai's running score after each round. Early wins count more, because they carry forward into every later round's total.
