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

Detailed breakdown of how Allen '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 [6.0]

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

Allen '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	Devin Martins	3.5	Discarded
2	Sonia Rao	2.0	Counted
3	Alyson Vargas	0.0	Counted
4	Luis Miranda	1.0	Counted
5	Nicholas Denmark	3.0	Counted
Modified Mean		6.0

S - Solkoff [9.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Devin Martins	3.5
2	Sonia Rao	2.0
3	Alyson Vargas	0.0
4	Luis Miranda	1.0
5	Nicholas Denmark	3.0
Solkoff		9.5

C - Cumulative [5.0]

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