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

Detailed breakdown of how Ray'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 [14.0]

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

Ray's score (4.0 of 5.0 possible) is more than 50% of the possible points, so the lowest opponent score is discarded.

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score	Counted?
1	Anirudh Sudarshan	3.0	Counted
2	Zhiling KANG	2.5	Discarded
3	Austin Mei	4.0	Counted
4	Grayson Rorrer	4.5	Counted
5	Donnel Zhu	2.5	Counted
Modified Mean		14.0

S - Solkoff [16.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Anirudh Sudarshan	3.0
2	Zhiling KANG	2.5
3	Austin Mei	4.0
4	Grayson Rorrer	4.5
5	Donnel Zhu	2.5
Solkoff		16.5

C - Cumulative [12.5]

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

Round	Result	Score After Round
1	1.0	1.0
2	1.0	2.0
3	0.5	2.5
4	0.5	3.0
5	1.0	4.0
Cumulative		12.5
