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

Detailed breakdown of how Michael'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 [12.5]

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

Michael's score (2.5 of 5.0 possible) is exactly 50% of the possible points, so every opponent score is counted.

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score	Counted?
1	Jade Skye	1.5	Counted
2	Deshawn McNeal	2.5	Counted
3	Gregory Freeman	3.0	Counted
4	Shaumprovo Debnath	2.0	Counted
5	Caleb Guan	3.5	Counted
Modified Mean		12.5

S - Solkoff [12.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Jade Skye	1.5
2	Deshawn McNeal	2.5
3	Gregory Freeman	3.0
4	Shaumprovo Debnath	2.0
5	Caleb Guan	3.5
Solkoff		12.5

C - Cumulative [7.5]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together Michael'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	1.0	1.0
3	0.5	1.5
