<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:
1. Game Collection: 1975 World Junior chess championship
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

Oct-13-12  WinKing: Congrats to *all* the winners!!! The 'force' was with <lostemperor> - welcome to the HOF. Well done. :)

Everybody that played to the finish received at least one medal. A good thing! :)

Thanks <chessmoron> & <OhioChessFan> for another well run contest. Hopefully these 'official sites' get their @!*% straight for the next event when posting their pairings. I know that makes your jobs a little tougher but you guys worked around that nicely - kudos! :)

Oct-14-12  chessmoron: But also congrats to <wordfunph> for getting rid of the goose egg on 'Moves Ranker' on the last round.

Re: Your question in my forum:

<Who's the Domdaniel culprit?>

I'm not really sure what's been happening in Dom's place lately (3 weeks), but it does look sort of weird to me.

Dom has been away most of the time since May, I think, and another user, after being absent from the site for some 2 years seems to have "taken over" the forum.

Maybe You can check the last 3 pages of Dd's forum.
