<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.
Things To Look At:

2. Ongoing edits Vladimir Ostrogsky
3. Bio Adolf Zytogorski
4. Complete the Olympiad
5. Bio Lorenz Maximilian Drabke
7. Baden-Baden (1870)
11. Karl Mayet
12. Smbat Lputian

Jun-09-11		Russian Grandmasters: <Ohio> thanks for hosting the contest again- I'll be joining Saturday in my JFQ clothes. <McLovin> thanks for holding the contest! Even though there is no Monkey Ranker. You guys were kind enough to explain why there isn't a Monkey Ranker, but it was over my head. Probably over the Monkey's head too. What if you included a "Chimp Ranker"? Would that be any more feasible?

Jun-10-11		OhioChessFan: No news to report. The homepage for the tournament has undergone a bit of updating, so I am hopeful they'll get the pairings ready. Can anyone figure out what the local time will be vis a vis Chessgames.com time?

Jun-10-11		rogge: Hi. Bazna local time is EST+7 (2.30 pm right now).

Jun-10-11		Penguincw: < SwitchingQuylthulg: Never participated before but I'll try this out... > Same. This is my debut.

Jun-10-11		OhioChessFan: It's okay to list more than one round at a time, but there is a slight preference for doing it one round at a time.

Jun-10-11		OhioChessFan: If anyone here has not yet visited <YouRang> I would suggest giving his contest a try too. YouRang chessforum One quick and easy way to enter both would be to post your predictions here, copy them, paste them on <YouRang> forum, and then backspace over the number of moves you guessed here. An extra 30 seconds and you'll have a second chance to win fame and fortune. Of course, you have no obligation to make the same predictions for the game result (1-0 1/2 0-1) in both contests.

Jun-10-11		OhioChessFan: One important point to remember is that you <must> get the game result right to earn any points. ie, if you guess: Ivanchuk - Radjabov 1/2 31 and the game ends up 1-0 in 31 moves, you won't score anything. It can be very hard to score points, and other times you'll score in flurries. Most winners have a lot of rounds they don't score anything, so don't get discouraged if you get off to a slow start.

Jun-11-11		OhioChessFan: Round 1 has started. I count 14 entrants. Might be very hard to score points.
