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

Detailed breakdown of how Sydney'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 [17.5]

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

Sydney'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	David English	4.5	Counted
2	Leonardo Zurita	2.5	Counted
3	Varun Rajagopal	5.0	Counted
4	Anagha Devulapally	2.5	Counted
5	Jose Melgarejo	3.0	Counted
Modified Mean		17.5

S - Solkoff [17.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	David English	4.5
2	Leonardo Zurita	2.5
3	Varun Rajagopal	5.0
4	Anagha Devulapally	2.5
5	Jose Melgarejo	3.0
Solkoff		17.5

C - Cumulative [8.5]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together Sydney'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	0.5	0.5
2	1.0	1.5
3	0.0	1.5
4	1.0	2.5
