Three shares and three denominators, all of them that week's: the top 32 share is of every list the swiss-like tournaments published, the top 8 share of every list that placed top 8 in them, the trophy share of every league 5-0. So the columns are not shares of each other, and a top 8 count read against the top 32 denominator comes out several times too small.

Conversion is the deck's share of the top 32 over its share of the whole field, so above 1.00 it held more of the cut than of the room. Win rate counts match wins and losses as played, the top cut included, because points stop accruing at the cut and would score the event's winner below the Swiss leader. Pro Tour Amsterdam played two formats. The match record and win rate are the Modern rounds alone and stop at the Swiss, the top 8 there being a draft pod rather than a cut on these lists. The field share, top 32, conversion and best finish all come off a standing that carries the draft rounds too, which no arithmetic undoes.
