Tiebreak score.

If two people finish on the same points it's what separates them.

Your tiebreak = your opponents points for every game you win + 0.5* your opponents points for every draw.

Tiebreak score.  Two people with the same number of points (4.5/5, for example) will be seperated by their tiebreak score... which is often based on the performance of their opposition during the tournament.  I'm not sure what criteria chess.com uses to break ties.
