<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.

  OhioChessFan: Per the recent events in the Umansky game, I am reminded of the closing thought of "Cheaper By the Dozen". Someone once asked the dad what he wanted to save time for. I don't remember the first few things he suggested people might want time for, but the quote ended (something like), "Mumbledypeg, if that's where your heart is." I am not aware that World games hurt anyone. I am not aware they infringe on anyone's right to enjoy a million other places on Chessgames.com. If that be the case, why should anyone care if someone else happens to enjoy what others consider Mumbledypeg?

Jul-05-09  ganstaman: <chessmoron> Sorry I didn't respond to you some time ago, but I was busy with school work for a while and then I just ended up forgetting. But now, I have several days off from school, so I can actually work on figuring this problem out.

Could you email me 2 files from the Dortmund 2009 folder: pickled.MRdata and pickled_last_loaded.MRdata. The error you sent me should help if I can see these files.

In case you don't still have my email, it is j9m8i7n6i5o4n@gmail.com without any numbers actually in there.
