NB Canyon Chess Tournament This tournament completed March 23rd, 2019.

Detailed breakdown of how Nicholas' 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 [13.5]

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

Nicholas' score (3.5 of 5.0 possible) is more than 50% of the possible points, so the lowest opponent score is discarded.

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score	Counted?
1	Joshua Freeland	3.0	Counted
2	Gavin Babcock	4.0	Counted
3	Jack Griffiths	3.0	Counted
4	Valerie Hospers	3.5	Counted
5	Aaron Ling	2.5	Discarded
Modified Mean		13.5

S - Solkoff [16.0]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Joshua Freeland	3.0
2	Gavin Babcock	4.0
3	Jack Griffiths	3.0
4	Valerie Hospers	3.5
5	Aaron Ling	2.5
Solkoff		16.0

C - Cumulative [10.0]

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