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

Detailed breakdown of how Alexander'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 [11.5]

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

Alexander's score (4.0 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	James Beverly	1.5	Counted
2	Austin Mei	4.0	Counted
3	Ronald Zhu	2.5	Counted
4	Johnathan Gadison	1.0	Discarded
5	Antonio Alvarado	3.5	Counted
Modified Mean		11.5

S - Solkoff [12.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	James Beverly	1.5
2	Austin Mei	4.0
3	Ronald Zhu	2.5
4	Johnathan Gadison	1.0
5	Antonio Alvarado	3.5
Solkoff		12.5

C - Cumulative [11.0]

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

2	0.0	1.0
3	1.0	2.0
4	1.0	3.0
