When totaling up strength of schedule, do you get credit for Modified Match wins or only Match wins?

Strength of schedule is the total of all the points achieved by your opponents in the tournament. So if the guy you beat in the first round goes 3-1-0-1 for the event, they contribute 18 points to your SoS. (5 for each win, 3 for the modified win and 0 for the loss).

Remember that there is no difference between a modified loss and a loss. Both contribute 0 to the player's total score (and their opponents' Strength of Schedules).

I understood that part, my question was whether people you beat with a modified win counted fo your strength of schedule. Does the person who went 0-5-0-0 have an advantage over the person who went 3-0-0-2 because the first person counts the strength of schedule of all five opponents where the second person counts only the three he defeated or do both players count the strength of all 5 opponents?

There is no advantage. Each person counts all 5 of their opponents. In a 5-round event, all players count the strength of all 5 opponents regardless of their personal win/loss record. All your opponents, whether you won or lost, modified or "straight," count toward your SoS.

So for rankings and placement, the 0-5-0-0 player and the 3-0-0-2 player would be tied (with 15 points for the event) and need to look at the SoS to determine their placement. And in fact, if there is any potential advantage in SoS, it is with the 3-0-0-2 player. That's because all 5 of the 0-5-0-0 player's opponents have at least 1 loss (to him), making and the minimum SoS for the 0-5-0-0 player 0. Meanwhile, 2 of the 3-0-0-2 player's opponents have at least 1 win (against him), making his minimum SoS 10 (or 6 if both of those losses happened to be against modified wins). Of course, minimum SoS tells you nothing concrete, but we're just theorizing here.
