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

Detailed breakdown of how Samuel'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 Samuel Adams has played, then discards one of them depending on how Samuel Adams is doing.

Samuel'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	Parker Smith	2.5	Counted
2	Layla Abdulbaki	3.0	Counted
3	Ashley Rinche	2.0	Counted
4	Carter Brezina	2.5	Counted
5	Francisco Rodriguez-Vara	3.5	Counted
Modified Mean		13.5

S - Solkoff [13.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Parker Smith	2.5
2	Layla Abdulbaki	3.0
3	Ashley Rinche	2.0
4	Carter Brezina	2.5
5	Francisco Rodriguez-Vara	3.5
Solkoff		13.5

C - Cumulative [9.0]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together Samuel'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	0.0	1.0
3	1.0	2.0
4	0.5	2.5
5	0.0	2.5
