Some years ago I came up with a new but simple system to calculate the final standings of a tournament including all players. This is how it goes:
For each correct standing you'll get a maximum amount of points. Each prediction deviation from the actual player standing in the tournament, will deduct one point from your total (ABSOLUTE RANKER).
In case of a shared player's standing the average standing counts (both actual and in your predictions).
The SQUARE RANKER, squares your predictions' deviations. Here only medals are awarded if the winner s is not the same person s as in the absolute ranker.
Same goes for the The PAIR BETTING RANKER compare all possible pair outcomes of the tournament participants.
The three best predictions will get Real Virtual Gold Silver and Bronze!
Note: only one set of medals is awarded (in the absolute ranker) unless another ranker produces a different winner.
Special thanks to <YouRang> who made a software to calculate these numbers.
Our new contest manager for game results prediction User: Golden Executive during the tournament also ([1-0], [1/2], [0-1])!
or predict the # of moves in User: ohiochessfan organized by <chessmoron>
Enjoy!

Mar-24-11		lostemperor: Three leaders in three different rankers <rogge>, <YouRang> and <cromat>! Will we have three sets of medals this time? Will <YouRang> win two gold in a row after winning Tata Steel tournament? Something if Im correct only <WannaBe> has achieved before. With things in Monaco also close, places 3 - 10 only 2 points apart, a Grand Final is expected with one double round to go, one blindfolded! /-)

Mar-24-11		lostemperor: Right, <rogge> also won Tata Steel with <Ragh> and <YouRang>! Hopefully I haven't forgotten anyone else haveing won two tournaments in a row <percyblakeney>, <cromat> perhaps? (I must be surprised you popping up at the top of the absolute ranker so suddenly <rogge> ;))

Mar-24-11		rogge: It's all about stamina ;)

Mar-24-11		Penguincw: Well,it looks like WannaBe is running away with the last place trophy.

Mar-24-11		WannaBe: Can't wait for my pawn ♙ award...

Mar-24-11		OhioChessFan: I am hoping to medal in pairs ranker and overtake <Wannabe> for last in the other categories.

Mar-25-11		SwitchingQuylthulg: Second consecutive tournament I finish in the top 3 in the Square Ranker but don't get any medals... Can't we make Square Ranker the main ranker? ;-)

Mar-25-11		lostemperor: <cromat> ♔♔♔ 'Triple Crown' winner!! (Rules decide only one set of medals is awarded in the absolute ranker, if the winner(s) of the different rankers is/are the same person(s)) After a disatrous Tata Steel tournament <cromat> shows great resilience in winning AMBER TOURNAMENT 2011! Second places for <rogge> ♕♖, <YouRang> ♕♖, and <SwitchingQuylthulg> ♕♖ in respectively absolute, square, and pair betting ranker! All three also won a third place in one ranker! Great showing of consistency by <YouRang> and <rogge> after winning Tata Steel tournament 2011! Also <SwitchingQuylthulg> has won a second place in Tata Steel square ranker.

Mar-25-11		lostemperor: Sorry about that <SwitchingQuylthulg>. I understand your frustration! ;)

Mar-25-11		lostemperor: I hope you enjoyed the tournament and the contest all, especially those who participated (I most certainly did). Thanks!!
