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

Detailed breakdown of how Vishal'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 [14.5]

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

Vishal'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	Holton Souquette	4.0	Counted
2	Carter Brezina	2.5	Discarded
3	Lea Hartman	2.5	Counted
4	Andrew Blackman	5.0	Counted
5	Andrew Trimble	3.0	Counted
Modified Mean		14.5

S - Solkoff [17.0]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Holton Souquette	4.0
2	Carter Brezina	2.5
3	Lea Hartman	2.5
4	Andrew Blackman	5.0
5	Andrew Trimble	3.0

C - Cumulative [13.0]

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