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-21-13		WinKing: To <chessmoron>/<OhioChessFan>, <lostemperor>, & <YouRang>, I have been working for some time on a way to get more members to play your games(all of them). In my forum is an experimental idea that may encourage them to try all of the games. All of you have a list of HOF'ers & I think all members that play your games like it (I know I do). My idea tries to tie all three of your contests together by offering titles just as there are in the game of chess. The only way to get these titles (GM, IM & M) is to participate in all of the contests. Like I said this idea is experimental & could be changed around or scrapped entirely. I would like feedback from all of you to see what you think. I would do all the bookkeeping & keep it up to date. I would also like feedback from any player/members. If you don't like it don't be afraid to say so. I have thick skin. ;)
