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

Detailed breakdown of how Bruce'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 [11.5]

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

Bruce'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	Bye	—	Not counted
2	Frankie Rodriguez	2.5	Discarded
3	Lex Garcia	2.5	Counted
4	Zachary Rusch	5.0	Counted
5	Ananya Bhat	4.0	Counted
Modified Mean		11.5

S - Solkoff [14.0]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Bye — not counted	—
2	Frankie Rodriguez	2.5
3	Lex Garcia	2.5
4	Zachary Rusch	5.0
5	Ananya Bhat	4.0
Solkoff		14.0

C - Cumulative [12.0]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together Bruce'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	1.0 (bye)	1.0
2	1.0	2.0
3	1.0	3.0
4	0.0	3.0
5	0.0	3.0
Cumulative		12.0

O - Opponent's Cumulative [40.0]

The Opponent's Cumulative adds together the Cumulative tiebreak of every opponent Bruce Davis has played.

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Cumulative
1	Bye — not counted	—
2	Frankie Rodriguez	6.5
3	Lex Garcia	8.5
4	Zachary Rusch	15.0
