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

Detailed breakdown of how Jacob'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 [6.5]

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

Jacob's score (1.5 of 5.0 possible) is less than 50% of the possible points, so the highest opponent score is discarded.

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score	Counted?
1	Bye	—	Not counted
2	Dominic Meza	1.5	Counted
3	Vishali Baker	1.0	Counted
4	Holton Souquette	4.0	Discarded
5	Bye	—	Not counted
Modified Mean		2.5

S - Solkoff [6.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Bye — not counted	—
2	Dominic Meza	1.5
3	Vishali Baker	1.0
4	Holton Souquette	4.0
5	Bye — not counted	—
Solkoff		6.5

C - Cumulative [5.5]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together Jacob'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	1.0	1.5
4	0.0	1.5
5	0.0 (bye)	1.5
Cumulative		5.5

O - Opponent's Cumulative [16.5]

1	Bye — not counted	—
2	Dominic Meza	6.5
3	Vishali Baker	4.0
4	Holton Souquette	10.0
