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

Detailed breakdown of how Nitin'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 [13.0]

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

Nitin's score (3.5 of 5.0 possible) is more than 50% of the possible points, so the lowest opponent score is discarded.

1	Kendal Peter	3.0	Counted
2	Lukas Johnson	3.5	Counted
3	Antonio Alvarado	3.5	Counted
4	Ronald Zhu	2.5	Discarded
5	Evan Chenault	3.0	Counted
Modified Mean		13.0

S - Solkoff [15.5]

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

1	Kendal Peter	3.0
2	Lukas Johnson	3.5
3	Antonio Alvarado	3.5
4	Ronald Zhu	2.5
5	Evan Chenault	3.0

C - Cumulative [10.0]

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