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

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

Austin'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	Ethan Parker Noriega	3.0	Counted
2	Alexander Rodriguez	4.0	Counted
3	Ray Zhang	4.0	Counted
4	Antonio Alvarado	3.5	Counted
5	Zhiling KANG	2.5	Discarded
Modified Mean		14.5

S - Solkoff [17.0]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Ethan Parker Noriega	3.0
2	Alexander Rodriguez	4.0
3	Ray Zhang	4.0
4	Antonio Alvarado	3.5
5	Zhiling KANG	2.5
Solkoff		17.0

C - Cumulative [12.5]

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