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

Detailed breakdown of how Raymond'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 [15.5]

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

Raymond'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	Jaxon Owens	1.0	Counted
2	Tristan Doherty	2.5	Counted
3	Harsh Mali	5.0	Counted
4	Sara Ramirez	3.0	Counted
5	Arnav Guduri	4.0	Counted
Modified Mean		15.5

S - Solkoff [15.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Jaxon Owens	1.0
2	Tristan Doherty	2.5
3	Harsh Mali	5.0
4	Sara Ramirez	3.0
5	Arnav Guduri	4.0
Solkoff		15.5

C - Cumulative [10.0]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together Raymond'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	1.0	2.0
3	0.0	2.0
4	0.5	2.5
5	0.0	2.5
Cumulative		10.0

O - Opponent's Cumulative [43.0]

The Opponent's Cumulative adds together the Cumulative tiebreak of every opponent Raymond Cai has played.

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Cumulative
1	Jaxon Owens	4.0
2	Tristan Doherty	7.0
3	Harsh Mali	15.0
4	Sara Ramirez	7.5
