I'll guess it's the list comprehension that confuses you.  That line is
roughly equivalent to:
mylist = []
for row in rows:
     mylist.append( (row[0], row) )

Except the second element in the tuple to append should be zero.

So you end up with a list of tuples, each consisting of row[0] and

a zero

Presumably this will be the starting score for each item.
