<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.

3. Bio Adolf Zytogorski
4. Complete the Olympiad

<Penguincw: Round 10:
Dominguez - Aronian 10-1 36>

I would take it as a <0-1 36> but the rulemaker is <chessmoron>.

I hope you can see this post before the start of the games. >

Ouch. Luck hasn't been on my side these last few weeks. :(

Anyway, I do mean 0-1. The reason why there's an extra "1" at the beginning is because of a typo. Usually, I do the following: I go to <YouRang>'s contest first, copy and paste whoever last posted predictions, format them a little (I like to post <Round x:>) and add my predictions. Then, I copy and paste the same predictions here. The user before me (<poorpatzer>), predicted a draw for Dominguez-Aronian (YouRang chessforum), but I wanted to change it to 0-1 here. I simply forgot to backspace, and well that's why it looked like that.

If it's on a weekday, then I normally wake up before the games, but on weekends, not likely. Also, this morning, my computer had more problems :|, but it's fixed now. :)

  OhioChessFan: ♔ Round 10 Update ♔

Lots of excitement, except for <OhioChessFan> this round. <juan31> and <Switch> are tired for the lead in the Moves Ranker. <Karposian> has a narrow lead in both Bonus and Moves+Bonus Ranker. <GoldenExecutive> holds the lead in Moves#1 Ranker. One round to go, anyone's ballgame. Don't forget the 2 hours earlier start time.
