2011 Winter Seasonal Tournament Results
January 2011

Final Standings:

Open Section:

There are four tie-breakers in our scheme, applied in the order they appear from left to right:

Modified Median ("MMed") -- The total scores of all the player's opponents, MINUS the lowest.  For Ahundov, who played Zhou (3.5), McKinney (2.5), Bruch (2.5), Wiedenhoeft (2.5) and Pokorski (2.0), this would be 3.5 + 2.5 + 2.5 + 2.5, or 11.0 (the lowest, 2.0, is dropped in this method).

Solkoff ("Solk") -- The total scores of all the player's opponents.  For Ahundov, who played Zhou (3.5), McKinney (2.5), Bruch (2.5), Wiedenhoeft (2.5) and Pokorski (2.0), this would be 3.5 + 2.5 + 2.5 + 2.5 + 2.0, or 13.0.

Cumulative ("Cum") -- The total of the player's scores at the end of each round.  For Ahundov, who had wins in each round, this would be 1.0 + 2.0 + 3.0 + 4.0 + 5.0, or 15.0.

Cumulative of Opponents ("CumOp") -- The total of the opponents' Cumulative scores.  For Ahundov, this would be those of Zhou (10.0), McKinney (10.0), Bruch (7.5), Wiedenhoeft (6.5) and Pokorski (5.0), or 39.0.

So in this situation, the four player with scores of 2.5 have tie-breakers applied in order to determine the standings.  The first tie breaker is the Modified Median, and McKinney's 8.5 here is higher than the next player's, so he takes third place.

Next, Ayoade's Modified Median of 7.0 is higher than the next player's 6.5, putting him clearly in fourth place.

The next two players, Bruch and Wiedenhoeft, have the same Modified Median of 6.5, so we look at the next tie breaker, the Solkoff.  Again, these are the same at 13.0, so we have to look at the third tie-breaker, the Cumulative value.  In this case, Bruch's is higher so he takes fifth place.
