This is from the FAQ's,

How are Online Tournaments organized?

Chess.com uses the popular and easy-to-understand Round-Robin format for chess tournaments. In round-robin tournaments each player plays every other player in two games (once as white, once as black). An example of a small round-robin is shown below.

	1	2	3	4	Points	Tie Break
1. Player 1 (1200)	X	½ - 1	1 -½	1 -1	5	11.5
2. Player 2 (1200)	0 -½	X	0 - 1	1 - ½	3	7.5
3. Player 3 (1200)	½ - 0	0 - 1	X	0 -½	2	6.5
4. Player 4 (1200)	0 - 0	½ - 0	½ - 1	X	2	4.5

My question is:- "what do these mean? (from above?)"

X	½ - 1	1 -½	1 -1	5	11.5
0 -½	X	0 - 1	1 - ½	3	7.5
½ - 0	0 - 1	X	0 -½	2	6.5
0 - 0	½ - 0	½ - 1	X	2	4.5

1/2 means draw, 1 means win, dash means yet to finish the match, the points is the amount of points gained and tie break is dependent on who you beat, beating a player with 3 points gets you 3 tie breaker points, while drawing gets you have his points.

Hope this helps
