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

Detailed breakdown of how Jacob'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 [11.0]

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

Jacob's score (4.0 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	Bye	—	Not counted
2	Andrew Blackman	5.0	Counted
3	Jose Hernandez	2.0	Discarded
4	Surya Venigalla	3.0	Counted
5	Sharvi Nakkala	3.0	Counted
Modified Mean		11.0

S - Solkoff [13.0]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Bye — not counted	—
2	Andrew Blackman	5.0
3	Jose Hernandez	2.0
4	Surya Venigalla	3.0
5	Sharvi Nakkala	3.0
Solkoff		13.0

C - Cumulative [11.0]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together Jacob'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	1.0 (bye)	1.0
2	0.0	1.0
3	1.0	2.0
4	1.0	3.0
