<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.

OhioChessFan: Yep, there's a sorta kinda perpetual involved.

OhioChessFan: White has three Pawns for a poorly placed Knight. I'd rather have the Knight, but as of move 29, I don't see any particular plans for

OhioChessFan: <Integ: Brown commie promises brown immigrants <free stuffs> paid for by white people. Got it.> This is so bad that even <HeMateMe!> is worried about government spending for the first time in his life.

   Nov-04-25 R Balinas vs C Blocker, 1979

Jul-31-11		jessicafischerqueen: THANK GHOD IT'S OVER and also that there's no Monkey Ranker to finish ahead of me, what a terrible outing this year. Le – Giri 0-1 49 Kramnik – Nakamura 1/2 68 Meier – Ponomariov 0-1 32

Jul-31-11		jessicafischerqueen: Thanks <Ohio> and <McLovin> for giving the contest. <McLovin> I thought of you tonight because I watched an episode of "The Larry Sanders Show" and saw it was written by <Judd Apatow>! No wonder it was so funny. Who knew?

Jul-31-11		OhioChessFan: I may create a Monkey entrant for the next contest and not embed his choices into the scoring. The Monkey Ranker works in <YouRang> Standard and 123 Ranker since any entrant's choices don't impact anyone else. The Monkey isn't in the Betting Ranker since the Monkey's selections would affect the other people. I am dismayed at how bad my performance has been too, although my scoring in the Moves Contest is a bit better than the Games Contest.

Jul-31-11		jessicafischerqueen: <Ohio> so he'd be a kind of "honorary monkey?" heh... Sounds like fun to me. http://files.chesscomfiles.com/imag...

Jul-31-11		OhioChessFan: No idea why I bet 200 chessbucks on Naka but then didn't pick him to win in this contest. Alas.

Jul-31-11		OhioChessFan: Round 10 had one decisive game. Kramnik - Naka was 0-1 in 50 moves. Le - Giri was a draw in 38 moves. Meier - Pono was drawn in 44. Our crack research team is totalling up the final standings.

Jul-31-11		WinKing: Congrats to all the medal winners in the <chessmoron> (Dortmund) prediction contest!!! Always fun to play in your tournaments <chessmoron>. Thanks for running it & thanks for all the time & work that you put into it! Also thanks to <OhioChessFan> for being such a great host for this event!

Jul-31-11		OhioChessFan: Congrats to the winners and thanks to <chessmoron>

Jul-31-11		PinnedPiece: <OCF> thanks for the notification and hosting duties superbly performed; <chessmoron> thanks for the fun and congratulations on the two golds! ~~~~~~ Just curious; why is there both a <Moves Ranker (# of 1st place UNDER/OVER) -> and a <Moves Ranker - Through <FINAL Round> Score, UserID, Over, Under, Exact > since they seem to be assessing the same thing? .

Jul-31-11		OhioChessFan: Theoretically, Player A could hit 5 perfects and score 50 points. Player B could hit 7 1st unders to win Moves Ranker #of 1st place under/over 7-5 but still finish second in the Moves Ranker 50-49. Usually, the same person wins both.

Aug-01-11		wordfunph: <winners> congrats! <OCF> <chessmoron> thank you..

Aug-01-11		Robin01: Thanks for running the contest. It was fun!

Aug-01-11		OhioChessFan: FWIW, in this contest, I consider the Moves+Bonus Ranker the gold standard.
