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

Detailed breakdown of how Troy'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 [13.0]

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

Troy's score (4.5 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	Michael Golla	2.0	Discarded
2	Asa Reddell	2.0	Counted
3	Joshua Bendele	3.0	Counted
4	Dakota Fisher	4.5	Counted
5	Mason Bowlin	3.5	Counted
Modified Mean		13.0

S - Solkoff [15.0]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Michael Golla	2.0
2	Asa Reddell	2.0
3	Joshua Bendele	3.0
4	Dakota Fisher	4.5
5	Mason Bowlin	3.5
Solkoff		15.0

C - Cumulative [14.0]

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