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

Detailed breakdown of how Taran'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 [10.5]

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

Taran'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	Pradhyumna Prakash	4.0	Counted
2	Bye	—	Not counted
3	Austin Quitta	2.0	Discarded
4	Kevin Fong	4.0	Counted
5	Tarun dhananjeyan	2.5	Counted
Modified Mean		10.5

S - Solkoff [12.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Pradhyumna Prakash	4.0
2	Bye — not counted	—
3	Austin Quitta	2.0
4	Kevin Fong	4.0
5	Tarun dhananjeyan	2.5
Solkoff		12.5

C - Cumulative [8.0]

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

Round	Result	Score After Round
1	0.0	0.0
2	1.0 (bye)	1.0
3	1.0	2.0
4	0.0	2.0
5	1.0	3.0
