TPR stands for

Tornooi Prestatie Rating or Tournament Performance Rating
This "theoretical" elo rating is calculated by...

1. calculating the average of the official rating aff all one's opponents
2. calculating the percentage of the points scored (e.g. 6/6 = 100 pct., 4/6 = 66
pct)
3. calculating the TPR accordingly

for instance:

a player scores 7/10, the average ELO of his 10 opponents being 1835
scoring 70 pct. means being +/- 112 ELO-points stronger than the "opposition".
Therefore, the TPR = 1835 + 112 = 1949

It's as simple as that :-)

Cheers,

Hans Secelle
