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

Detailed breakdown of how Patrick'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 [8.0]

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

Patrick's score (1.0 of 5.0 possible) is less than 50% of the possible points, so the highest opponent score is discarded.

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score	Counted?
1	Ian Morris	2.5	Counted
2	Apolo Simon	3.5	Discarded
3	Jozlynn Villarreal	0.5	Counted
4	Vicente Mainez	3.0	Counted
5	Tomek Tavira	2.0	Counted
Modified Mean		8.0

S - Solkoff [11.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Ian Morris	2.5
2	Apolo Simon	3.5
3	Jozlynn Villarreal	0.5
4	Vicente Mainez	3.0
5	Tomek Tavira	2.0
Solkoff		11.5

C - Cumulative [3.0]

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

2	0.0	0.0
3	1.0	1.0
4	0.0	1.0
