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

Detailed breakdown of how Matthew'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 [5.5]

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

Matthew's score (1.5 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	Rudy Landaverde Menendez	3.0	Discarded
2	Hunter Schmedthorst	2.0	Counted
3	Bye	—	Not counted
4	Diego Riffle	2.0	Counted
5	Shashank Raman	1.5	Counted
Modified Mean		5.5

S - Solkoff [8.5]

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

Round	Opponent	Opponent's Score
1	Rudy Landaverde Menendez	3.0
2	Hunter Schmedthorst	2.0
3	Bye — not counted	—
4	Diego Riffle	2.0
5	Shashank Raman	1.5
Solkoff		8.5

C - Cumulative [3.5]

The Cumulative tiebreak adds together Matthew'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	0.0	0.0
3	1.0 (bye)	1.0
4	0.0	1.0
5	0.5	1.5
