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!

Nov-25-11		YouRang: <lostemperor> Woo hoo! Another gold in your final standings contest! I must be some kind of weird karma that causes me to do well here, while stinking up the place at my own house. Thanks for running the contest, and congratulations on winning gold in the Pair Betting contest. Winning at home is a feat I've practically given up on.

Nov-25-11		lostemperor: <YouRang> you can win your own prediction contest. You virtually showed here again that you often made right predictions of the game results (1/2, 1-0, 0-1) albeit at the wrong moments (like I did) ;-)

Nov-25-11		lostemperor: And congratulations for moving first in the HALL of FAME with a fourth tournament win! <WannaBe> better be back again :) Also to the other medal winners and thanks all for playing and hope to see you at Tata Steel in the New Year!!

Nov-25-11		WinKing: Thanks for another exciting Prediction Contest <lostemperor>. Always fun to play here! Nepomniachtchi was the surprise in this tournament & I had him slated to finish last. I was still lucky enough to grab a bronze medal though & am very thankful for that. Congrats to all of the other medal winners here!!!

Nov-25-11		wordfunph: <lostemperor> great thanks, congrats to all the <winners>!

Nov-25-11		Golden Executive: Thanks <lostemperor> for running the contest. This was my first time here and I enjoyed. I will be expecting the next contest. I liked the "Battle of the Organizers". Congratulations to all the winners !

Nov-26-11		OhioChessFan: Thanks for hosting. What happened to the thingy where you mentioned the most off the wall pick that was correct?

Nov-26-11		moronovich: Congrats to the winners <YouRang> and <lostemperor> were quite impressive. And thanks again to <lostemperor> for running the show and I am already looking forward to Wijk an See...if not before ;) Cheers ! NB: moros prediction still stinks !
