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

Detailed breakdown of how Nicholas' 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 [10.5]

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

Nicholas' 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	Pierce Arora	3.0	Counted
2	Alyson Vargas	0.0	Discarded
3	Sonia Rao	2.0	Counted
4	Devin Martins	3.5	Counted
5	Mikko Johnson	2.0	Counted
Modified Mean		10.5

S - Solkoff [10.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Pierce Arora	3.0
2	Alyson Vargas	0.0
3	Sonia Rao	2.0
4	Devin Martins	3.5
5	Mikko Johnson	2.0
Solkoff		10.5

C - Cumulative [8.0]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together Nicholas' running score after each round. Early wins count more, because they carry forward into every later round's total.
