6th Rackspace Chess Tournament This tournament completed April 29th, 2017.

Detailed breakdown of how Tarun's M-S-C-O tiebreaks were calculated. Tiebreaks are used to order players who finish with the same score, in the order M, then S, then C, then O. Byes have no opponent, so they are listed but not counted in the opponent-based tiebreaks.

M - Modified Mean [13.5]

The Modified Mean adds up the scores of every opponent Tarun Bandaru has played, then discards one of them depending on how Tarun Bandaru is doing.

Tarun's score (2.5 of 5.0 possible) is exactly 50% of the possible points, so every opponent score is counted.

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score	Counted?
1	Joaquin Sinks	3.0	Counted
2	Edgar Bermea	2.5	Counted
3	Tarun dhananjeyan	2.5	Counted
4	Helen Luo	1.5	Counted
5	Kevin Fong	4.0	Counted
Modified Mean		13.5

S - Solkoff [13.5]

The Solkoff is the combined score of every opponent Tarun Bandaru has played, with nothing discarded. A higher Solkoff means Tarun Bandaru faced tougher opposition.

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Joaquin Sinks	3.0
2	Edgar Bermea	2.5
3	Tarun dhananjeyan	2.5
4	Helen Luo	1.5
5	Kevin Fong	4.0
Solkoff		13.5

C - Cumulative [8.0]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together Tarun's running score after each round. Early wins count more, because they carry forward into every later round's total.
