This.

 

It's obvious that whoever has the most positive tiebreaker is higher, but how do you get them and what do they mean?

 

Damn, I got a problem.

 

Let's say we have Player A and Player B. They both attend a nine round regional. In the end, they both go 7-2. However, Player A tops and Player B does not along with several other players. Why is this?

 

During the regional, Player A's opponents have done better than Player B's opponents, which is what puts him above B.

 

tl;dr, if your past opponents do better throughout the tournament you have a better chance of topping than those who have opponents who don't do as well

...Wow, I never knew that.

 

But that's a pretty clever way of doing it.

That first one makes sense. Though there are 3 tiebreakers. Do the other 2 take something else into account?
