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

Detailed breakdown of how Joshua'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 [11.0]

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

Joshua'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	Kieran Larsen-McMurray	2.5	Counted
2	Gillian Fritz	1.5	Counted
3	Hunter Braun	4.0	Discarded
4	Dhruv Pathak	4.0	Counted
5	gohith reddy	3.0	Counted
Modified Mean		11.0

S - Solkoff [15.0]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Kieran Larsen-McMurray	2.5
2	Gillian Fritz	1.5
3	Hunter Braun	4.0
4	Dhruv Pathak	4.0
5	gohith reddy	3.0

C - Cumulative [9.0]

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