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

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

Ethan's score (3.5 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	Noah Villanueva	2.5	Counted
2	Austin Quitta	2.0	Discarded
3	Pradhyumna Prakash	4.0	Counted
4	Edgar Bermea	2.5	Counted
5	Joaquin Sinks	3.0	Counted
Modified Mean		12.0

S - Solkoff [14.0]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Noah Villanueva	2.5
2	Austin Quitta	2.0
3	Pradhyumna Prakash	4.0
4	Edgar Bermea	2.5
5	Joaquin Sinks	3.0
Solkoff		14.0

C - Cumulative [10.0]

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

2	1.0	1.5
3	0.5	2.0
4	0.5	2.5
