<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.

Jan-07-15		OhioChessFan: YouRang chessforum has announced he is running his contest.

Jan-07-15		OhioChessFan: Saving for future use: 20...dxc3! Against the World Champ, no less. I think I'd quit chess after that, there being no place to go but down.

Jan-07-15		OhioChessFan: Let the Picking Begin Welcome to the Tata Steel Moves Prediction Contest. * This contest involves picking a game result (1-0 1/2 or 0-1) and the number of moves in the game. As an example, if in the first round game you think Giri with White will defeat Carlsen in 40 moves, your entry would say: Giri-Carlsen 1-0 40 While it is a bit more complicated than the game prediction contest hosted by <YouRang> it isn't <that> much more complicated. I think my profile as written by <chessmoron> does a pretty good job explaining how things work. === * We can't start yet since the pairings haven't been released. Most tournaments are really bad about releasing them in a timely manner and it's always a bit of a struggle to get our first round in.

Jan-07-15		bubuli55: Thx for the fyi

Jan-08-15		Travis Bickle: Elvis You Were Cool & still are! ; P That's Alright Mama - Elvis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWg...

Jan-09-15		chessmoron: Don't worry. I saved it on my computer's notepad.

Jan-09-15		OhioChessFan: Still waiting on pairings. Anyone who happens to get them, be sure to post them on <YouRang> forum also.

Jan-09-15		OhioChessFan: As we await the pairings, be sure to visit tpstar chessforum where voting for Game of the Year continues. Vote for 1 up to 10 of the best games of the year. lostemperor chessforum is hosting the Final Standings Contest, where you make one post before the tournament begins with your predictions of the final standings.
