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

Detailed breakdown of how Said'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 [12.0]

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

Said'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	Dean Planchon	2.5	Counted
2	Travis Ghormley	0.5	Discarded
3	Trevor Gayhart	3.0	Counted
4	Paul Adams	4.0	Counted
5	Matthew Medelin	2.5	Counted
Modified Mean		12.0

S - Solkoff [12.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Dean Planchon	2.5
2	Travis Ghormley	0.5
3	Trevor Gayhart	3.0
4	Paul Adams	4.0
5	Matthew Medelin	2.5
Solkoff		12.5

C - Cumulative [8.0]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together Said'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	1.0	1.0
3	1.0	2.0
4	0.0	2.0
