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!

Jan-12-12		lostemperor: Counting down: Two days before TataSteel tournament. Here the betting odds <CHESSBOOKIE>, which is still open, for the players Tata Steel: A Group Carlsen is huge favorite, therefore his odds are low 1.65. Second Aronian (7) followed by Topalov (13). These two have reasonable odds. Nakamura at number 4 at 17 odds. I hope Nakamura can win again but as last year's winner, he may have a more persistent opponents? Maybe it is wise to put some bucks on Radjabov. Or Gashimov and Kamsky for big gains :)

Jan-12-12		lostemperor: <Penguincw> you did not wait for the pairings to arrive. What happened to that strategy? :)

Jan-12-12		WinKing: <Tata Steel 2012 - Predict the final standings> 1. Carlsen 2. Aronian 3. Karjakin 3. Nakamura 5. Radjabov 5. Topalov 7. Ivanchuk 7. Gashimov 7. Kamsky 10. Giri 10. Gelfand 12. Caruana 12. Navara 14. van Wely

Jan-12-12		Penguincw: < lostemperor: <Penguincw> you did not wait for the pairings to arrive. What happened to that strategy? :) > Acutally, I used a slightly different startegy. In case the pairings come out late, this is so that I could rake up something. I hope you don't mind a few last minute changes, if the pairings come out in a timely fashion.. :)

Jan-13-12		lostemperor: No problema, good thinking :)

Jan-13-12		lostemperor: One day before Tatasteel chess and the game begins here also! Actually the game will end here since once you made your predictions there is nothing you can do but see what the players will do in Wijk aan Zee. But whether you are on top, bottom, somewhere in between in the rankings or just interested on the sidelines, I hope you have fun all!
