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

Detailed breakdown of how Trent'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 [4.5]

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

Trent's score (0.5 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	Daniel Nelson	4.0	Discarded
2	Ariana Chaudhary	3.0	Counted
3	Steven Arredondo	1.5	Counted
4	Bye	—	Not counted
5	Bye	—	Not counted
Modified Mean		4.5

S - Solkoff [8.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Daniel Nelson	4.0
2	Ariana Chaudhary	3.0
3	Steven Arredondo	1.5
4	Bye — not counted	—
5	Bye — not counted	—
Solkoff		8.5

C - Cumulative [1.5]

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

3	Steven Arredondo	3.0
