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

Detailed breakdown of how Ethan'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 [5.5]

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

Ethan's score (2.0 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	Sara Herrera	4.0	Discarded
2	Samuel Van Dusen	1.0	Counted
3	Ryder Jendrzey	2.5	Counted
4	Ethan Philp	1.0	Counted
5	Benjamin Bradley	1.0	Counted
Modified Mean		5.5

S - Solkoff [9.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Sara Herrera	4.0
2	Samuel Van Dusen	1.0
3	Ryder Jendrzey	2.5
4	Ethan Philp	1.0
5	Benjamin Bradley	1.0
Solkoff		9.5

C - Cumulative [4.0]

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

Round	Result	Score After Round
1	0.0	0.0
2	0.5	0.5
3	0.0	0.5
4	0.5	1.0
