Hi,

What are, in priority of order, the tiebreakers for rankings in the Swiss Rounds tournament format?

I think in the following order:
1. Points
2. Opponent's points
3. Opponent's average

How does opponent's points work? The less given? Bc into some games that can be weird

Opponents' total points in all games in the tournament: the higher the total, the higher you will place. The idea is that this shows who faced tougher opposition in the tournament. (Though of course it is flawed, especially in games where players were skipped.)
