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

Detailed breakdown of how Melanie'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 [5.0]

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

Melanie'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	Graham Hopkins	4.0	Discarded
2	Daisy Perez	1.0	Counted
3	Nataly Lara	1.0	Counted
4	Vittoria Zevallos	1.0	Counted
5	Preetham Aashrith Aavula	2.0	Counted
Modified Mean		5.0

S - Solkoff [9.0]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Graham Hopkins	4.0
2	Daisy Perez	1.0
3	Nataly Lara	1.0
4	Vittoria Zevallos	1.0
5	Preetham Aashrith Aavula	2.0
Solkoff		9.0

C - Cumulative [2.5]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together Melanie'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	0.0	0.0
3	0.5	0.5
4	0.5	1.0
