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!

FINAL STANDINGS PREDICTIONS

< Earlier Kibitzing · PAGE 111 OF 285 · Later Kibitzing>
Nov-26-11		Ezzy: Thanks again <lostemperor> for running the competiton for many years. Great to see the battle between yourself and <YouRang> who had a fantastic victory to place him at the top of the 'Hall of Fame' standings.

Nov-28-11		OhioChessFan: Will you be running a contest for the London Classic?

Dec-01-11		OhioChessFan: London Chess Classic 2011 Moves Prediction Contest, sponsored by the legendary <chessmoron> and hosted in my forum, is now open. First round begins December 3. Click on Elvis for details.

Dec-05-11		lostemperor: <OhioChessFan> I did not planned London contest although I knew it is pretty intersting field. I did enjoy your and <chessmoron> move prediction contest though where I had some exact prediction in Tal memorial in two Kramnik games I believe: Kramnik - carlsen 1/2 41 and Kramnik - Karjakin 1/2 44. So I almost own Kramnik draws with white hehehe ;)

Dec-23-11		Penguincw: Are you going to do Tata Steel?

Dec-24-11		moronovich: Merry Christmas and best wishes for the New Year ! See you in Tata !?..

Dec-24-11		Penguincw: < Penguincw: Are you going to do Tata Steel? > < Nov-25-11 lostemperor: Here the Lineup for Wijk Aan Zee January 2012: > Oh. Nvm.

Dec-25-11		Penguincw: Merry Christmas <lostemperor>.

Dec-28-11		Penguincw: Is it too early to predict?

Dec-28-11		Penguincw: I'm assuming that's a yes. But just waiting to see how Hikaru Nakamura, Anish Giri and Vassily Ivanchuk perform in Reggio Emilia (2011).

Dec-29-11		lostemperor: Happy holidays all! The London chess classic was of course a very interesting mix of players. Especially good to see Nigel Short and Michael Adams playing. We saw Kramnik and Nakamura emerging strong from a bad Tal Memorial. After finishing shared 8-9 and 10th place in Moscow respectively, Kramnik and Nakamura took the first two places in London. This is the second time this year, after Tatasteel 2011, that Hikaru Nakamura finished ahead of his Angstgegner Magnus Carlsen. So who knows what Tata Steel might bring in the New Year! At the moment four participants there are still playing in Reggio Emilia. Nakamura, Ivanchuk, Giri and Caruana.

Dec-29-11		Penguincw: When will you accept the first predictions?

Dec-31-11		Penguincw: Happy New Year <lostemperor>.

Jan-01-12		lostemperor: A great 2012 <Penguincw>! You can post your Tata Steel 2012 predicitons if you can (Nakamura leading halfway in Reggio Emilia)! Here the line-up on (November) ratings: 1. Carlsen 2. Aronian 3. Karjakin, 4. Topalov 5. Ivanchuk 6. Gashimov 7. Kamsky 8. Nakamura 9. Radjabov 10. Gelfand 11. Giri 12. Caruana 13. Navara 14. van Wely Official site http://www.tatasteelchess.com/tourn... Good luck and enjoy!

Jan-01-12		Penguincw: < lostemperor > Firstly, thank you for the new year greetings. :) Secondly, I'm not sure which ratings Tata is using but the January 2012 ratings came out already (since yesterday). http://ratings.fide.com/top.phtml?l...

Jan-01-12		moronovich: All the best for 2012 <lostemperor> ! (My god ,is another year gone by ??) See you at Tata . "it takes pawns of steel to get there"

Jan-02-12		lostemperor: 2012 the last year of the old Mayan calendar! I think the old November rating are still on the Tatasteelchess site but soon to be updated:)

Jan-02-12		Penguincw: They got almost two weeks to update it. < lostemperor: 2012 is the last year of the old Mayan Calendar! > The world isn't going to end. I read a book about this guy and he said that the world was going to end in 1833. Sure enough, when it didn't happen, he said that it was going to end in 1834. I'll let you finish off the story.

Jan-02-12		lostemperor: <Penguincw> No the world is not going to end! Only sensation seekers and frauds say the world is going to end what is not what Mayan, whatever "prophets" or any researcher have said. The end of the Mayan calendar however, if it is truly on December 21, could signal a start of a new era. Their temples are also accurate cosmic master pieces. We will see what, if any will happen :)

Jan-02-12		Aurora: I have made a minor study of this Mayan business and have concluded that they never predicted an apolalypse. This is just modern sensationalism. They predicted that there would be a change of "thinking" which would be a vast improvement of current affairs. In particular, a recent deeply respected interpreter of the prediction stated that there would soon be a <major paradigm shift.> That seems very dramatic to me but there is no talk of "the dead rising from the grave, dogs and cats living together" and such.

Jan-02-12		Penguincw: < lostemperor: <Penguincw> No the world is not going to end! > Didn't I said that already? < Penguincw: ... The world isn't going to end. >

Jan-03-12		lostemperor: Right I was confirming that no one, but sensation seekers, have ever predicited the apocalypse because no one knows. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_p...

Jan-03-12		Penguincw: < lostemperor: Right... > Ok good. Just making sure. :)

Jan-03-12		YouRang: Hi <lostemperor>. Tata 2012 Looks like another tough tournament to predict. I'll try this: 1. Carlsen 1. Karjakin 3. Aronian 4. Nakamura 5. Ivanchuk 6. Caruana 6. Gashimov 6. Kamsky 9. Giri 9. Radjabov 11. Topalov 12. van Wely 12. Gelfand 14. Navara

Jan-03-12		Penguincw: Would really post them without knowing the pairings first?
