Solkoff Tie Break System
Scores of players tied with the same tournament score (1 point for a win, 1/2 point for a draw and no points for a loss) can be sorted by using the Solkoff system.
First make a list of the opponents adjusted scores for the tournament - unplayed games are cocunted as draws, whether they are scored as wins or losses for tournament standings. An opponents unplayed game against other opponents are scored as a loss.
Then total the opponents adjusted scores to determine the Solkoff tie-break. The highest Solkoff score is the tie-break winner. Note that tie-break systems only sort the players rank within the tournament score group and cannot catapult a player with a lower tournament score over a player with a higher score.
Examples
Example 1: Player A & B both score 3 wins and 2 losses. Player A played games with opponents who scored 1, 3, 2, 2,& 2. Player B played opponents who scored 1, 2, 2, 2 & 2. Player A would have a Solkoff tie-break of 10 and Player B would have a Solkoff tie-break of 9.
Example 2: Both players have the same opponents scores, but Player A, won one game on forfeiture. When calculating that players score, a zero in scored for that round. So if a player was paired with opponents of 1,3,2,2,2 and his last round opponent left early and so the player was awarded a win on a forfeit, his tie-break would be calculated as 1+3+2+2+0=8.
Example 3: Both players have the same opponents scores and played all their games, but one Player A opponent won one game on forfeiture. When calculating that players score, a half point in scored for the unplayed round of the opponent. So if a player was paired with opponents of 1,3,2,2,2 but his last round opponent was awarded a win on a forfeit, the opponent's adjusted score would be calculated as 1.5, instead of 2 and Player A's Solkoff tie-break would be 1+3+2+2+1.5=9.5.
