The SG Alone Presence for that MM is 8%, which is the higher of the two sides  Relative SG Alone Presence % = SG Alone Presence for that MM / (MM1 SG Alone Presence + MM2 SG Alone Presence)  Where the combined MM SG Alone Presence is less than 2%, both MMs are assessed at an equal 50% contribution 16.67% (50% of SG weighting) %Time at NBBO – 33.33% of total Net NBBO Corrections  Net NBBO Corrections =MAX ( 0 , Number of MM NBBO Corrections - Number of MM NBBO Violations ) Where: 16.67% (50% of NBBO weighting)
