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

Detailed breakdown of how Pawan'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 [6.5]

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

Pawan's score (0.5 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	Eric Zou	3.0	Discarded
2	Kendal Peter	3.0	Counted
3	Johnathan Gadison	1.0	Counted
4	Joseph Ellis	2.0	Counted
5	Jerry Hernandez	0.5	Counted
Modified Mean		6.5

S - Solkoff [9.5]

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

1	Eric Zou	3.0
2	Kendal Peter	3.0
3	Johnathan Gadison	1.0
4	Joseph Ellis	2.0
5	Jerry Hernandez	0.5

C - Cumulative [0.5]

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