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

Detailed breakdown of how Pierce'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 [12.5]

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

Pierce's score (3.0 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	Nicholas Figueora	3.0	Counted
2	Phillip Zevallos	3.5	Counted
3	Peyton Braun	3.5	Counted
4	Mikko Johnson	2.0	Discarded
5	Sidhartha Kakumanu	2.5	Counted
Modified Mean		12.5

S - Solkoff [14.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Nicholas Figueora	3.0
2	Phillip Zevallos	3.5
3	Peyton Braun	3.5
4	Mikko Johnson	2.0
5	Sidhartha Kakumanu	2.5
Solkoff		14.5

C - Cumulative [10.0]

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

1	1.0	1.0
2	1.0	2.0
3	0.0	2.0
4	0.0	2.0
