Last Year's Tournament Results: Tata Steel 2014
<Karposian> Tat14:BonusRnk(1) + StdMv/Bonus(1)
<juan31> Tat14:StdMvRnk(1t) + StdMv/Bonus(2) + 1stRanker(2t)
<SwitchingQuylthulg> Tat14:StdMvRnk(1t) + 1stRanker(2t)
<Golden Executive> Tat14:StdMvRnk(3) + 1stRanker(1)
<WinKing> Tat14:StdMvRnk(2) + StdMv/Bonus(3) + 1stRanker(3t)
<Penguincw> Tat14:BonusRnk(2)
<chessmoron> Tat14:BonusRnk(3)
<NakoSonorense> Tat14:1stRanker(3t)
<Format>:
[player]-[player] [result] [# of MOVES]
==4 Different Scoring Methods==
Standard Moves Ranker (1st place-Over[3pts], 1st place-Under [7pts], Exact [10pts])
Bonus Ranker (3rd place-Over[1pts],2nd place-Over[2pts],3rd place-Under [5pts], 2nd place-Under [6pts]
Standard Moves/Bonus Ranker [Add all to together]
1st place Ranker [how many 1st place you have in Standard Moves Ranker]
For example:
<Note: Participants 3, 4, and 5 are predicated on nobody scoring an exact as Participant 2 did. If someone hits an exact, the closest score under and over will score the points for second place.>
Actual Game: [player]-[player] 0-1 45
Participant 1: [player]-[player] 1/2 45
Participant 2: [player]-[player] 0-1 45
Participant 3: [player]-[player] 0-1 44
Participant 4: [player]-[player] 0-1 43
Participant 5: [player]-[player] 0-1 46
Participant 1: No points even though 45 is correct. Results must be correct. If Result is wrong and moves # is correct...you get no points whatsoever
Participant 2: 10 pts rewarded for correct Result/moves #
Participant 3: 7 pts rewarded for closest under (1st-Under) to 45 moves
Participant 4: 6 pts rewarded for the 2nd closest under (2nd-Under) to 45 moves.
Participant 5: 3 pts rewarded closest OVER(1st-OVER) to 45 moves.
Again, the description of Participant 3, 4, and 5 are based on there being no exact prediction as made by Participant 2.

<IF> there is an exact or an under closest, the highest scoring over participant will be 2nd over. The second closest over will be 3rd over. The <ONLY> time there will be a first over is if there is no exact or under winner.

Jan-25-15		chessmoron: <Some Observations> <SwitchingQuylthulg>'s strategy of predicting numbers less than 10 has done wonders for him and gaining a lot of points. <OhioChessFan> late <Nostradamus>-like exacts impress the heck out of me. However, <lostemperor>'s Exact in the last round nipped <Elvis> of getting a medal for <Moves+Bonus Ranker> As for me, just scored one point at the last round, got me passed <lostemperor> for a medal for <Bonus Ranker>. I'm slightly miffed that <kellmano> forgot his last two rounds. He was doing so well here. Anyways, thanks for participating.

Jan-25-15		OhioChessFan: Final Recap Much thanks to <chessmoron> for running the show. Thanks to <Penguincw> and <WinKing> for watching the scoring. Impressive effort by <Switcheroo> who won 3 golds. <Penguincw> took the 4th. This struck me as a very hard tournament but a lot of scoring regardless. It was another shutout for The Menkey this round, so <WoolyBully> saved humanity's honor by passing him. Thanks to all. Hope the next tournament is soon.

Jan-25-15		juan31: Thank you <chessmoron and OhioChessFan> for the contest and congratulations to the winners.

Jan-25-15		Penguincw: < Score,UserID ♔ 10, Penguincw ♘ 9, kellmano ♘ 9, SwitchingQuylthulg > I'm pretty much the only user that actually cares about this "quadruple crown", and I'm really happy that it was <me> that was able to stop <Switch>. :) Anyway, thanks to <cm>, <OCF> and <WK> for hosting/making sure this contest ran smoothly. Congrats to the winners, especially <Switch> for once again coming close to a quadruple crown. Milestone wise, congrats to <OCF> for winning his 20th and 21st bronze medals, and <cm> for a bronze medal, moving him past <WinKing> for most runner-up medals overall with 33. I also have to congratulate myself for breaking 2 streaks, as it was the first in <years> that I not only won gold, but had a tournament where I came away with more than 1 medal. :) Kinda surprised that there were only 13 medals given out to 7 medalists, but there was no tie for 3rd place in 1st Ranker this time! P.S. Next tournament please? :)

Jan-25-15		WinKing: Thanks to <chessmoron> for running & <OhioChessFan> for hosting this fine contest! Congratulations to all of the medal winners! Special kudos to <SwitchingQuylthulg> for a great finish in this contest picking up a triple crown in the process!

Jan-25-15		Golden Executive: Thanks <chessmoron> and <OhioChessFan> for the contest. Congratulations to the winners! See you guys the next time.

Jan-26-15		SwitchingQuylthulg: Thanks to <chessmoron> and <OhioChessFan>, and congratulations to the medalists!

Jan-26-15		wordfunph: congrats to all winners! thanks to <OCF> and <chessmoron>.

Jan-26-15		lostemperor: Yes I still got a bronze overall. Congrats to other medalists and thanks <chessmoron> for the work and <OhioChessFan> for sponsoring! :)

Jan-26-15		bubuli55: Thanks for the games < chessmoron > and < OCF >. Congratz to the winners:)

Jan-26-15		kellmano: yes thanks <OCF> and <chessmoron> and apologies for not partaking in the last two rounds, which was down to pure forgetfulness/busyness. I recognise that it might appear rude or ungrateful but I can only plead that I would lose my own head if it were not screwed on and that's just a trait of mine. Anyhow, apologies.

Jan-26-15		chessmoron: <kellmano> It's not rude or ungrateful at all. I only try to help the participants for better rankings when they are doing so well.

Jan-26-15		Penguincw: BTW: If anyone wants to view the Gold Medal Leaders, for this contest, I have updated them here: User: Gold Medal Leaders. If you see any errors (even if it's in formatting or spelling/grammar or whatever), please let me know on my forum. Thanks. :)
