<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:

2. Ongoing edits Vladimir Ostrogsky
3. Bio Adolf Zytogorski
4. Complete the Olympiad
5. Bio Lorenz Maximilian Drabke

  OhioChessFan: ** Round 4 Recap **

<WinKing> continues his long run of success in our contest and is now in the lead in 3 rankers and in second in the other. <Switch> leads Bonus Ranker. <offramp> <Penguincw> and <Robin01> are among the co-leaders in #1 Ranker. <Winky> was apparently upset by the machinations behind his back last round when the contestants tried to change the schedule of the tournament. They failed, miserably, and <Wink> laughed his way to the bank.

Only 5 rounds to go in our exciting contest.

  OhioChessFan: ** Round 5 Recap **

We're more than halfway through our contest, and <WinKing> and <Switch> are dominating proceedings. <Winky> leads in 3 Rankers and is in second in the other. <Switch> leads in two and is second in the other 2. <wordfunph> shares the lead in #1 Ranker to make a token effort at breaking their stranglehold on the lead.

We had a good scoring round and now only two people are left with 0's on the board-<GE> and <chessmoron> <chessmoron> blames a lack of focus because he's not keeping score. <GE> blames a lack of focus because he's doing the scoring instead of studying. Here's hoping they both regroup and get a #1 score in the next 4 rounds.
