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

Detailed breakdown of how Patrick'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 [15.0]

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

Patrick's score (3.0 of 5.0 possible) is more than 50% of the possible points, so the lowest opponent score is discarded.

1	Julian Ramos	3.0	Counted
2	Akhil Kanna	5.0	Counted
3	Antonio Hildalgo-Gomez	3.0	Counted
4	Isa Nava	2.0	Discarded
5	Joshua Shappell	4.0	Counted
Modified Mean		15.0

S - Solkoff [17.0]

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

2	Akhil Kanna	5.0
3	Antonio Hildalgo-Gomez	3.0
4	Isa Nava	2.0

C - Cumulative [10.0]
