School Team results:
- First place: Venice Christian
- Second Place: Pine View
- Third Place: Phillippi Shores Elementary
Team scores were computed by totaling the top 4 finishers from each school team, with a bonus point added if a player had to play in a higher section based on his or her rating. Tie scores in the team section are usually resolved by comparing a fifth player's results on each team. The top two were so close in scores that we needed to compare results of the top seven players to break the tie.
Notes:
Our K-12 Open section had 5 players this time, comprised of 10-12th graders plus younger players rated over 1000. One under 1000 player volunteered for a more challenging experience and played in this group. Since there was a large range of ratings in this group, we added a handicap system, where the higher rated player had less time on the clock than the lower rated one. For each 100 pts rating difference, we added a 3 min time difference. The largest difference ended up being 8 min vs 32 min in the match between the highest and lowest rated players in the group.
Due to scheduling conflicts, we had to change the date of the event. This unfortunately affected several families since they had planned around the original dates and were unable to attend on the revised date. Southside especially was affected, as several of their top players were unable to attend.

ASH=Ashton, BDG = BD Gullett Elementary, BMS=Brookside Middle School, CC= Calvary Christian, CE = Cranberry Elementary, CM=Center Montessori, FE=Fruitville Elementary, H=homeschool, ICS = Incarnation Catholic School, ISPR=Imagine School at Palmer Ranch, IV=Island Village Montessori, KE=Kinnan Elementary, ME= McNeal Elementary, NG=NewGate, NMS=Nolan Middle School, PS=Phillippi Shores, PV=Pine View, SA=Suncoast Academy, SB=Sarasota Baptist, SCS=Sarasota Christian School, SE=Southside Elementary, SLA=Student Leadership Academy, SMA=Sarasota Military Academy, SMS=Sarasota Middle School, SSA=Sarasota Suncoast Academy, SSAS=Sarasota School of Arts and Sciences, SSE=St. Stephen’s Episcopal, VC=Venice Christian
W=Win (1pt), L=Loss (0pts), D=Draw (0.5pts), B=Bye (1.0 pts if forced to take due to odd number of players), H=Half-point Bye (0.5 in first round if arranged in advance), U=Unregistered (arrived late or withdrew early, 0pts), F=loss by Forfeit, X=win by forfeit.
Rtng- Starting rating was from current USCF rating (if based on at least 15 games and more recent than the prior SSC tournament), SSC rating obtained at the prior tournament, or an initial rating estimate based on grade level and number of years of experience.
Post- New rating based on initial rating and this tournament's results.
TBrk- Tiebreak calculations. Since there are many players with equal total point scores, tiebreak calculations are needed for sorting placements. Various methods are used for these calculations: M=Modified Median, S=Solkoff, R=Round Robin(aka Sonneborn-Berger), O=Opposition Cumulative Score. If players are still tied after comparison of the first method, it goes to the next and so on. Basically, the main Tiebreak determinant is the combined point total of a player's top four opponents (lowest performing opponent's score is not counted). Detailed explanations about these methods can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tie-breaking_in_Swiss-system_tournaments . The order we prioritize these is similar to that used by USCF, but our third choice is not Cumulative since it is too dependent on initial ratings, which in our case are frequently rough estimates.
Comments:
Pairings were made automatically by SwissSys 8 software, based on starting rating. In the first round this sorts players by rating, then pairs the top half with the bottom half. In the second round the players with wins in the first round are paired with each other while those that lost the first round are paired with each other. In successive rounds, those with equal cumulative scores are paired with each other (except where there is an odd number in a score group).
