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

Detailed breakdown of how Noah'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 [7.5]

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

Noah'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	Ethan Mei	3.5	Counted
2	Laasya Naga pullabhotla	1.0	Counted
3	Helen Luo	1.5	Counted
4	Tarun dhananjeyan	2.5	Counted
5	Bye	—	Not counted
Modified Mean		8.5

S - Solkoff [8.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Ethan Mei	3.5
2	Laasya Naga pullabhotla	1.0
3	Helen Luo	1.5
4	Tarun dhananjeyan	2.5
5	Bye — not counted	—
Solkoff		8.5

C - Cumulative [7.5]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together Noah'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	0.0	1.5
4	0.0	1.5
5	1.0 (bye)	2.5
Cumulative		7.5

O - Opponent's Cumulative [24.0]

The Opponent's Cumulative adds together the Cumulative tiebreak of every opponent Noah Villanueva has played.

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Cumulative
1	Ethan Mei	10.0
2	Laasya Naga pullabhotla	3.0
3	Helen Luo	5.5
