<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.

  WannaBe: About 2 yrs ago, I joined the "Smart Phone" age/rage... After much research and think'n, I got a Samsung Gravity (refurb'd) with slide out keyboard.

It's easier to type on a qwerty keyboard, then pecking "on screen keyboard".

At that time, I signed up with T-Mobile for 30 bucks a month, 100 min of talk time, unlimited text and data usage.

I still have that plan, I text my sister and my old friends in SoCal, I hardly talk to people on the phone anymore...

Now, since my company lets me use a iPad, I downloaded the app Fox-Fi, which turns my phone into a walking hot spot.

(My iPad is WiFi only somthing I insisted with my company)

So, now, as long as I have battery and a cell singal, I am on the net.

Shop around, AT&T and T-Mobile have been waging customer war lately, Verizon may also have some deal.

Some carrier(s) offer unlimited talk+data plan, so you can figure that part out yourself.

If you fancy a fancy phone, that will cost you upwards of 300 bucks if you purchase out right, otherwise, it will be monthly payment (usually 24 month) plus your monthly cell bill.

I hope this helps, I am still at yahoo.com, you can always drop me an email, if you have more questions, like Android vs Windows vs Google phones.

  WannaBe: That last part should be Android vs iPhones vs Windows phone...
Jan-26-14  NakoSonorense: <30 bucks a month, 100 min of talk time, unlimited text and data usage.>

Only $30/mo for all that? What?!

Jan-26-14
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: Yeah, that was 2 years ago, I had to purchase the phone, hence refurb'd one. So I paid 140 for the phone...

  WannaBe: <OCF> this may help...

http://www.whistleout.com/CellPhones

Jan-26-14  NakoSonorense: Just like I thought, that's too good to be true. The plan is no longer available. The cheapest one they have is $50, which comes with only 500MB of high speed data. At $70/mo, the unlimited plan does not look too bad, though.
