How is average opponents points(tiebreaker) calculated in a 4 player game?

Post by Ani_28 »

I don’t understand it say I played 2 games till now 4,4,4,0 and 4,4,4,0. I scored 4 in both games. How is my average opponents score 1.3 when it should be 4+4+4+4 =16. 16/6 =2.667 right? Or I am getting something wrong?

It's not how many points they've scored against *you*. It's how many points they've scored in the tournament (divided by the number of opponents you've faced). Average opponents score is a measure of your "strength of schedule." In other words, if you face opponents who go on to win every other game they play in the tournament, their tournament performance is strong and you're rewarded for that in the tie breaker on the theory that you had a tougher schedule than someone whose opponents went on to lose every other game in the tournament.

By the way, this isn't unique to Flip 7 and there is an entire sub-forum devoted to discussing how tournaments work.
