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

Detailed breakdown of how James' 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 [8.0]

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

James' score (1.5 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	Alexander Rodriguez	4.0	Discarded
2	Eric Zou	3.0	Counted
3	Bye	—	Not counted
4	Zhiling KANG	2.5	Counted
5	Ronald Zhu	2.5	Counted
Modified Mean		8.0

S - Solkoff [12.0]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Alexander Rodriguez	4.0
2	Eric Zou	3.0
3	Bye — not counted	—
4	Zhiling KANG	2.5
5	Ronald Zhu	2.5
Solkoff		12.0

C - Cumulative [4.0]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together James' 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	0.0	0.0
2	0.0	0.0
3	1.0 (bye)	1.0
4	0.5	1.5
5	0.0	1.5

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Cumulative
1	Alexander Rodriguez	11.0
2	Eric Zou	10.0
3	Bye — not counted	—
