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

Detailed breakdown of how Erik'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 [7.5]

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

Erik's score (2.5 of 5.0 possible) is exactly 50% of the possible points, so every opponent score is counted.

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score	Counted?
1	Dhanya Koushik	3.0	Counted
2	Ricky Rodriguez	2.0	Counted
3	Ella Zou-Bao	0.5	Counted
4	Shawn Mitchell	1.0	Counted
5	Hansika Aavula	1.0	Counted
Modified Mean		7.5

S - Solkoff [7.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Dhanya Koushik	3.0
2	Ricky Rodriguez	2.0
3	Ella Zou-Bao	0.5
4	Shawn Mitchell	1.0
5	Hansika Aavula	1.0
Solkoff		7.5

C - Cumulative [4.5]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together Erik'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	0.5	0.5
4	1.0	1.5
