<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)

11. Karl Mayet
12. Smbat Lputian

Sep-06-22  WinKing: I am not a fan of this scoring system <chessmoron> when a player drops out. To me it tests the integrity of the game. I love your game <chessmoron> in its original format but not like this. I will be no longer participating in this contest as it is now. I've enjoyed playing with you all.

  OhioChessFan: ** Rounds 3 and 4 Recap **

The only thing more confusing than the Sinquefield Cup is this contest. Apparently <chessmoron> has invoked the little known "If Carlsen Withdraws <chessmoron> Can Give 10 Points to Whoever He Wants Rule". Nobody understands it but everyone is afraid to challenge the 7' 6" <chessmoron> about the matter. The leaderboard is the expected mess. 4 different contestants are leading the various Rankers. <Whiteshark> leads the way with the lead in 2 Rankers. <GE> <Winking> and <paavoh> lead in 1 each.

In other news, Niemann now has a permanent smirk every time he looks at <juan>. <Messiah> was seen doing a celebratory song and dance outside the playing hall when Carlsen lost, and was utterly ecstatic when he withdrew. <Pengo> tried to clarify the Infamous 10 Point Rule, and as expected, made it even more confusing to everyone.

Nobody knows who's winning the contest, really, although <chessmoron> promises to tell us at the end. Until then, we'll have to guess, really, who's leading. Our remaining contestants must soldier on and continue to seek fame and fortune. 5 rounds to go in our exciting contest.

  Penguincw: < OhioChessFan: ... A few odds and ends. Scoring mistakes occasionally happen. Let <chessmoron> know, on this forum. Quickly. >

So. What is quickly? Does 2 days count as "quickly"?

  Penguincw: On a side note, I just realized that the 10 point bonus is given out after <each> round, not at the end.

Yeah that's overkill. (less overkill if it's merely a one-time 10 point bonus) I'd rather the bonus not exist at all.

Just my opinion. I'll continue participating regardless.
