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

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

Varun's score (5.0 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	Javier Biondini	2.0	Discarded
2	Aryan Bandi	4.0	Counted
3	Sydney Wallace	2.5	Counted
4	Cylee Dhond	3.5	Counted
5	Saaketh Boyapalle	4.0	Counted
Modified Mean		14.0

S - Solkoff [16.0]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Javier Biondini	2.0
2	Aryan Bandi	4.0
3	Sydney Wallace	2.5
4	Cylee Dhond	3.5
5	Saaketh Boyapalle	4.0
Solkoff		16.0

C - Cumulative [15.0]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together Varun'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
