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

Detailed breakdown of how Ronald'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 [9.0]

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

Ronald'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	Bye	—	Not counted
2	Krishna Gurung	1.5	Counted
3	Alexander Rodriguez	4.0	Counted
4	Nitin Akella	3.5	Counted
5	James Beverly	1.5	Counted
Modified Mean		10.5

S - Solkoff [10.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Bye — not counted	—
2	Krishna Gurung	1.5
3	Alexander Rodriguez	4.0
4	Nitin Akella	3.5
5	James Beverly	1.5
Solkoff		10.5

C - Cumulative [7.5]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together Ronald'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	0.5 (bye)	0.5
2	1.0	1.5
3	0.0	1.5
4	0.0	1.5
5	1.0	2.5
Cumulative		7.5

O - Opponent's Cumulative [23.0]

The Opponent's Cumulative adds together the Cumulative tiebreak of every opponent Ronald Zhu has played.

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Cumulative
1	Bye — not counted	—
2	Krishna Gurung	5.5
3	Alexander Rodriguez	11.0
4	Nitin Akella	10.0
