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

Detailed breakdown of how Nathan'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 [14.0]

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

Nathan's score (4.5 of 5.0 possible) is more than 50% of the possible points, so the lowest opponent score is discarded.

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score	Counted?
1	Liliana Peters	2.0	Discarded
2	Olivia Bailey	3.5	Counted
3	Elijah Karki	3.0	Counted
4	Austin Meyer	4.5	Counted
5	Abigail Xin	3.0	Counted
Modified Mean		14.0

S - Solkoff [16.0]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Liliana Peters	2.0
2	Olivia Bailey	3.5
3	Elijah Karki	3.0
4	Austin Meyer	4.5
5	Abigail Xin	3.0
Solkoff		16.0

C - Cumulative [14.0]

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

2	1.0	2.0
3	1.0	3.0
4	0.5	3.5
