School Team results:
- First place: Venice Christian
- Second Place: Southside Elementary
- 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 were resolved by comparing a fifth player's results on each team.
Notes:
We are happy to see many players have been training and improving. Our K-12 Open section had 4 players this time, for 10-12th graders plus younger players rated over 1000. These players played three rounds. We hope to have more players in this section in future tournaments, and may add trophies for the winners. The numbers of fourth grader participants at our current tournament was again the largest contingency.

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, B=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).
