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

Detailed breakdown of how David'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 [13.5]

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

David's score (4.5 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	Sydney Wallace	2.5	Discarded
2	Antonio Reyna	3.5	Counted
3	Axel Peterson	3.5	Counted
4	Caleb Guan	3.5	Counted
5	Jolie Mao	3.0	Counted
Modified Mean		13.5

S - Solkoff [16.0]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Sydney Wallace	2.5
2	Antonio Reyna	3.5
3	Axel Peterson	3.5
4	Caleb Guan	3.5
5	Jolie Mao	3.0
Solkoff		16.0

C - Cumulative [12.5]

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

1	0.5	0.5
2	1.0	1.5
3	1.0	2.5
4	1.0	3.5
