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

Detailed breakdown of how Roger'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 Roger Spear has played, then discards one of them depending on how Roger Spear is doing.

Roger'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	Demetris Rodriguez	1.5	Discarded
2	Carlos Ronquillo	3.0	Counted
3	Samanyu Thadakamalla	3.0	Counted
4	Mason Schuster	3.0	Counted
5	Maia Hernandez	3.0	Counted
Modified Mean		12.0

S - Solkoff [13.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Demetris Rodriguez	1.5
2	Carlos Ronquillo	3.0
3	Samanyu Thadakamalla	3.0
4	Mason Schuster	3.0
5	Maia Hernandez	3.0
Solkoff		13.5

C - Cumulative [12.0]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together Roger'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	1.0	2.0
3	0.0	2.0
4	1.0	3.0

3	Samanyu Thadakamalla	12.5
