<Format>:
[player]-[player] [result] [MOVE]
==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: 2 pts rewarded closest OVER(2nd-OVER) to 45 moves.

<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.

OhioChessFan: <FSR: Illinois bans abstinence-only sex education> That's fine. Maybe they can spend the classroom time on how to avoid being shot.

Dec-03-11		OhioChessFan: Surprising round with just 1 decisive game. The Monkey would have scored 6 points, with a second under in Aronian-McShane.

Dec-03-11		Penguincw: Wow. I actually did pretty good for this round. Round 2 Howell - Adams 0-1 55 McShane - Carlsen 1-0 45 Nakamura - Aronian 1/2-1/2 49 Short - Kramnik 0-1 40 No one copy exactly!

Dec-03-11		OhioChessFan: <HeMateMe> this contest, you must also include the number of moves you expect the game to last. It's really not a big deal to not score in a round, so don't let that stop you from continuing.

Dec-03-11		hedgeh0g: Round 2 Howell - Adams 1/2 45 McShane - Carlsen 1/2 40 Nakamura - Aronian 1/2 40 Short - Kramnik 0-1 56

Dec-04-11		Golden Executive: Round 2 Howell - Adams 1/2 40 McShane - Carlsen 1/2 40 Nakamura - Aronian 1-0 40 Short - Kramnik 1/2 40

Dec-04-11		Penguincw: Round 2 just started. It's 9:01am.

Dec-04-11		OhioChessFan: 2 decisive games today, and one of them wasn't Carlsen! Short-Kramnik 0-1 in 43 moves and Naka surprised Aronian 1-0 in 54 (I think. One site had 53) Howell drew Adams in 35, and McShane blew a win against Carlsen and drew in 83. Seven rounds to go.
