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

Detailed breakdown of how Joseph'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 [9.5]

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

Joseph'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	Antonio Alvarado	3.5	Discarded
2	Anirudh Sudarshan	3.0	Counted
3	Ethan Parker Noriega	3.0	Counted
4	Pawan Somavarpu	0.5	Counted
5	Eric Zou	3.0	Counted
Modified Mean		9.5

S - Solkoff [13.0]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Antonio Alvarado	3.5
2	Anirudh Sudarshan	3.0
3	Ethan Parker Noriega	3.0
4	Pawan Somavarpu	0.5
5	Eric Zou	3.0
Solkoff		13.0

C - Cumulative [5.0]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together Joseph'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	0.0	0.0
2	0.0	0.0
3	1.0	1.0
4	1.0	2.0
