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

Detailed breakdown of how Apolo'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 [9.5]

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

Apolo's score (3.5 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	Andrew Trimble	3.0	Counted
2	Patrick Dobbs	1.0	Discarded
3	Jishnu Saani	2.0	Counted
4	Jose Hernandez	2.0	Counted
5	Isabella Zevallos	2.5	Counted
Modified Mean		9.5

S - Solkoff [10.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Andrew Trimble	3.0
2	Patrick Dobbs	1.0
3	Jishnu Saani	2.0
4	Jose Hernandez	2.0
5	Isabella Zevallos	2.5
Solkoff		10.5

C - Cumulative [9.5]

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

1	0.0	0.0
2	1.0	1.0
3	1.0	2.0
4	1.0	3.0
