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

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

Joaquin's score (3.0 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	Tarun Bandaru	2.5	Counted
2	Helen Luo	1.5	Discarded
3	Kevin Fong	4.0	Counted
4	Donovan Smith	3.0	Counted
5	Ethan Mei	3.5	Counted
Modified Mean		13.0

S - Solkoff [14.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Tarun Bandaru	2.5
2	Helen Luo	1.5
3	Kevin Fong	4.0
4	Donovan Smith	3.0
5	Ethan Mei	3.5
Solkoff		14.5

C - Cumulative [10.0]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together Joaquin'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	1.0	1.5
3	0.5	2.0
4	1.0	3.0
5	0.0	3.0
Cumulative		10.0

O - Opponent's Cumulative [47.0]

1	Tarun Bandaru	8.0
2	Helen Luo	5.5
3	Kevin Fong	11.5
