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

Detailed breakdown of how Samuel'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 [6.5]

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

Samuel's score (1.0 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	Gwyneth Lerma	2.5	Discarded
2	Ethan Blanchard	2.0	Counted
3	Olivia Lundy	0.5	Counted
4	Hayden Doherty	2.0	Counted
5	Chase Bendele	2.0	Counted
Modified Mean		6.5

S - Solkoff [9.0]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Gwyneth Lerma	2.5
2	Ethan Blanchard	2.0
3	Olivia Lundy	0.5
4	Hayden Doherty	2.0
5	Chase Bendele	2.0
Solkoff		9.0

C - Cumulative [3.5]

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