<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)

  OhioChessFan: ** Round 6 Recap **

<chessmoron> doesn't know if he's coming or going and who, if anyone, is going to replace him while he vacations. Shockingly, he appears more interested in the vacation than this game. For those of us who know what's important in life, <scout118> holds or is tied for the lead in 3 categories. <lostemperor> has shot to the lead/tie in 2 categories. <Penguincw> has moved into a tie for the lead in one category. 3 rounds to go.

Have a safe trip <chessmoro>. Make sure to bring your camera. I hear they are paying some nice rewards for photos of the 'Yeren'. I know they are running around over there in your neck of the woods.

  OhioChessFan: ** Round 7 Recap **

<GE> has decided to take over the scoring since he saw how <WinKing> miraculously won 2 medals last contest after volunteering for the scoring duties. So far it hasn't worked, as he isn't leading any categories-yet. He is reportedly hoping to confuse all the contestants with his Morse Code results posting system. In any event, the leaders are <lostemperor> and <scout118> who lead 2 categories each. Just 2 rounds to go, and the crowd is bracing for an exciting finish.

Jun-23-15  WinKing: **Perfection** <GE> nice work! I would expect nothing less. ;)
Jun-23-15  Golden Executive: Thanks guys. :)
