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

Detailed breakdown of how John'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 [12.0]

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

John'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	Moses Gamez	3.0	Counted
2	Chloe Jiang	4.0	Counted
3	Surya Venigalla	3.0	Counted
4	Vishali Baker	1.0	Discarded
5	Alexander Fleming	2.0	Counted
Modified Mean		12.0

S - Solkoff [13.0]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Moses Gamez	3.0
2	Chloe Jiang	4.0
3	Surya Venigalla	3.0
4	Vishali Baker	1.0
5	Alexander Fleming	2.0
Solkoff		13.0

C - Cumulative [8.0]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together John'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	0.0	1.0
3	0.0	1.0
4	1.0	2.0
