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

Detailed breakdown of how Robert '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 [11.0]

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

Robert 's score (2.0 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	James Pina-Medugno	3.0	Discarded
2	Abigail Xin	3.0	Counted
3	Miles Bass	2.0	Counted
4	Elias Sanchez	3.0	Counted
5	Charlotte Hill	3.0	Counted
Modified Mean		11.0

S - Solkoff [14.0]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	James Pina-Medugno	3.0
2	Abigail Xin	3.0
3	Miles Bass	2.0
4	Elias Sanchez	3.0
5	Charlotte Hill	3.0

C - Cumulative [8.0]

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