Detailed breakdown of how Michael'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 [11.5]

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

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