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

Detailed breakdown of how Donovan '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 [11.5]

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

Donovan '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	Laasya Naga pullabhotla	1.0	Discarded
2	Tarun dhananjeyan	2.5	Counted
3	Jaden Kroll	2.0	Counted
4	Joaquin Sinks	3.0	Counted
5	Pradhyumna Prakash	4.0	Counted
Modified Mean		11.5

S - Solkoff [12.5]

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

1	Laasya Naga pullabhotla	1.0
2	Tarun dhananjeyan	2.5
3	Jaden Kroll	2.0

C - Cumulative [12.0]
