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 [4.5]

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

Ethan'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	Namchi Do	3.0	Discarded
2	Grace Cheng	1.5	Counted
3	Bye	—	Not counted
4	Bye	—	Not counted
Modified Mean		1.5

S - Solkoff [4.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Namchi Do	3.0
2	Grace Cheng	1.5
3	Bye — not counted	—
4	Bye — not counted	—
Solkoff		4.5

C - Cumulative [3.0]

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	1.0	1.0
3	0.0 (bye)	1.0
4	0.0 (bye)	1.0
Cumulative		3.0

O - Opponent's Cumulative [13.0]

The Opponent's Cumulative adds together the Cumulative tiebreak of every opponent Ethan Payne has played.

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Cumulative
1	Namchi Do	11.0
2	Grace Cheng	4.5
3	Bye — not counted	—
4	Bye — not counted	—
Opponent's Cumulative		15.5
