GWG Question.

What does the SON represent on the results table.??? Thanks in advance. :-)

I was wondering about that too...

It stands for Sonneborn-Berger, which is a way to break ties. It is equal to twice the sum of the scores of the opponents you have defeated, plus the score of opponents you have drawn against: Son = (sum of beaten opponents*2) + (sum of drawn opponents*1). If the standard scores of two players are equal at the end of a tournament, the Sonneborn-Berger score determines who finished higher. Hope that's clear (it's as clear as I can seem to make it anyway :)

Thanks Lee. :)

It happened to be in the forum a month or so... Another reason to put up FAQ's, Richard!
