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

Detailed breakdown of how Catherine'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 [6.0]

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

Catherine'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	Bye	—	Not counted
2	Akhil Yalamuri	3.0	Counted
3	Antonio Vidaurri	1.5	Counted
4	Joaquin Mainez	0.5	Counted
5	Jett Pittman	1.5	Counted
Modified Mean		6.5

S - Solkoff [6.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Bye — not counted	—
2	Akhil Yalamuri	3.0
3	Antonio Vidaurri	1.5
4	Joaquin Mainez	0.5
5	Jett Pittman	1.5
Solkoff		6.5

C - Cumulative [5.5]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together Catherine'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 (bye)	0.5
2	0.0	0.5
3	0.0	0.5
4	1.0	1.5
5	1.0	2.5

O - Opponent's Cumulative [17.5]
