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

Detailed breakdown of how Paul'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 [10.0]

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

Paul'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	Bye	—	Not counted
2	Memphis Planchon	1.5	Discarded
3	Leonardo Jimenez	2.0	Counted
4	Andrew Moreno	4.0	Counted
5	Emma Bitela	4.0	Counted
Modified Mean		10.0

S - Solkoff [11.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Bye — not counted	—
2	Memphis Planchon	1.5
3	Leonardo Jimenez	2.0
4	Andrew Moreno	4.0
5	Emma Bitela	4.0
Solkoff		11.5

C - Cumulative [12.0]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together Paul'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 (bye)	1.0
2	1.0	2.0
3	1.0	3.0
4	0.0	3.0
5	0.0	3.0
Cumulative		12.0

O - Opponent's Cumulative [38.0]
