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

Detailed breakdown of how Micah'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 Micah Norman has played, then discards one of them depending on how Micah Norman is doing.

Micah's score (2.0 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	Joshua Shappell	4.0	Discarded
2	Luis Carrillo	3.0	Counted
3	Maverick Fisher	4.0	Counted
4	Kai Tkachuk	2.0	Counted
5	Didier Duerrmeyer	2.5	Counted
Modified Mean		11.5

S - Solkoff [15.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Joshua Shappell	4.0
2	Luis Carrillo	3.0
3	Maverick Fisher	4.0
4	Kai Tkachuk	2.0
5	Didier Duerrmeyer	2.5
Solkoff		15.5

C - Cumulative [6.0]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together Micah'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	1.0
3	0.0	1.0
4	1.0	2.0
