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

Detailed breakdown of how Daniel'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 [15.0]

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

Daniel's score (4.0 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	Trent Spivey	0.5	Discarded
2	Daniel Pon	3.0	Counted
3	Gavin Hanna	3.0	Counted
4	Angela Pan	4.0	Counted
5	Joey Kremer	5.0	Counted
Modified Mean		15.0

S - Solkoff [15.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Trent Spivey	0.5
2	Daniel Pon	3.0
3	Gavin Hanna	3.0
4	Angela Pan	4.0
5	Joey Kremer	5.0
Solkoff		15.5

C - Cumulative [14.0]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together Daniel'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	1.0	3.0
4	1.0	4.0
5	0.0	4.0
Cumulative		14.0

1	Trent Spivey	1.5
2	Daniel Pon	8.0
3	Gavin Hanna	10.0
