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

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

Nicholas 's score (3.0 of 5.0 possible) is more than 50% of the possible points, so the lowest opponent score is discarded.

1	Hunter Braun	4.0	Counted
2	Kieran Larsen-McMurray	2.5	Counted
3	Gillian Fritz	1.5	Discarded
4	Phillip Zevallos	3.5	Counted
5	Allen Stidham	2.0	Counted
Modified Mean		12.0

S - Solkoff [13.5]

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

2	Kieran Larsen-McMurray	2.5
3	Gillian Fritz	1.5
4	Phillip Zevallos	3.5
