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

Detailed breakdown of how Max'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 [9.5]

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

Max's score (2.0 of 5.0 possible) is less than 50% of the possible points, so the highest opponent score is discarded.

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score	Counted?
1	Raul Zuniga	2.0	Counted
2	Bryan Xu	4.0	Discarded
3	Sara Ramirez	3.0	Counted
4	Shreyan Khanna	3.5	Counted
5	Elias Kim	1.0	Counted
Modified Mean		9.5

S - Solkoff [13.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Raul Zuniga	2.0
2	Bryan Xu	4.0
3	Sara Ramirez	3.0
4	Shreyan Khanna	3.5
5	Elias Kim	1.0
Solkoff		13.5

C - Cumulative [6.0]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together Max'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	0.0	1.0
3	0.0	1.0
4	0.0	1.0
5	1.0	2.0
Cumulative		6.0

O - Opponent's Cumulative [35.0]

The Opponent's Cumulative adds together the Cumulative tiebreak of every opponent Max Guerra has played.

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Cumulative
1	Raul Zuniga	7.0
2	Bryan Xu	14.0
3	Sara Ramirez	7.5
4	Shreyan Khanna	8.5
5	Elias Kim	3.0
