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 [9.5]

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

Paul'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	Zachary Miller	2.0	Counted
2	Urjith Mishra	4.0	Discarded
3	Demetris Rodriguez	1.5	Counted
4	Luis Carrillo	3.0	Counted
5	Mason Schuster	3.0	Counted
Modified Mean		9.5

S - Solkoff [13.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Zachary Miller	2.0
2	Urjith Mishra	4.0
3	Demetris Rodriguez	1.5
4	Luis Carrillo	3.0
5	Mason Schuster	3.0
Solkoff		13.5

C - Cumulative [8.0]

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	1.0
2	0.0	1.0
3	1.0	2.0
4	0.0	2.0
5	0.0	2.0
Cumulative		8.0

O - Opponent's Cumulative [45.5]

The Opponent's Cumulative adds together the Cumulative tiebreak of every opponent Paul Rodriguez has played.

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Cumulative
1	Zachary Miller	7.0
2	Urjith Mishra	14.0
3	Demetris Rodriguez	4.5
4	Luis Carrillo	10.0
