MTPSS -  Modified Tournament Performance Point Score

MTPPS is calculated as follows:

A Loss = 0 points

A Draw = the rating of the opponent

A Win = the greater of [your opponent's rating + 200] or [your rating]

The top ten performance scores for each player are counted

The 2019 top MTPPS scores at this point are as follows: Calculations in progress

(Tournaments scored included all CFC Standard rated tournaments, International FIDE standard rated tournaments etc. - Note that Wiebe's score would be much higher if USCF events had been calcualted, but it is moot as he is alreay qualified) If you believe a result has been missed or is incorrect, please contact me.
