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

Detailed breakdown of how Paul'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 Paul Adams has played, then discards one of them depending on how Paul Adams is doing.

Paul'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	Lillian Funk	1.0	Discarded
2	Gabriel Jimenez	2.0	Counted
3	Caleb Carrillo	5.0	Counted
4	Said Garza	3.0	Counted
5	Dean Planchon	2.5	Counted
Modified Mean		12.5

S - Solkoff [13.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Lillian Funk	1.0
2	Gabriel Jimenez	2.0
3	Caleb Carrillo	5.0
4	Said Garza	3.0
5	Dean Planchon	2.5
Solkoff		13.5

C - Cumulative [12.0]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together Paul'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	1.0
2	1.0	2.0
3	0.0	2.0
4	1.0	3.0
5	1.0	4.0
Cumulative		12.0

O - Opponent's Cumulative [40.5]

1	Lillian Funk	2.5
2	Gabriel Jimenez	5.0
3	Caleb Carrillo	15.0
