Olympiad tiebreaks

Can some kind soul remind me exactly how the first tiebreak for the Olypiads is calculated?  It's some sort of modified S-B score, right?

Or at a less precise, more basic level, can someone remind me -- is it calculated solely on the basis of match points, or do game points come into it in some way?

Tiebreak rules are described in Appendix 2.II on page 16.

Thanks. So yes, complicated. And if I’m reading correctly, then game points do indeed have a significant effect here, yes?

Yes.

It's ludicrously complicated.

But yes.
