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

Detailed breakdown of how Helen'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 [9.5]

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

Helen's score (1.5 of 5.0 possible) is less than 50% of the possible points, so the highest opponent score is discarded.

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score	Counted?
1	Edgar Bermea	2.5	Counted
2	Joaquin Sinks	3.0	Discarded
3	Noah Villanueva	2.5	Counted
4	Tarun Bandaru	2.5	Counted
5	Austin Quitta	2.0	Counted
Modified Mean		9.5

S - Solkoff [12.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Edgar Bermea	2.5
2	Joaquin Sinks	3.0
3	Noah Villanueva	2.5
4	Tarun Bandaru	2.5
5	Austin Quitta	2.0
Solkoff		12.5

C - Cumulative [5.5]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together Helen'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	0.5	0.5
2	0.0	0.5
3	1.0	1.5
4	0.0	1.5
