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 131 OF 285 · Later Kibitzing>
Mar-13-13		SloVice: The Lions just signed Reggie Bush. A good signing I think. Now they just need an O-line upgrade to open holes for him. Anyway...here's my picks: 1. Carlsen 2. Aronian 2. Kramnik 4. Ivanchuk 4. Grichuk 6. Gelfand 6. Radjabov 6. Svidler

Mar-13-13		Aurora: <Candidates Tournament 2013 final prediction contest> 1. Carlsen 2. Kramnik 3. Aronian 4. Radjabov 5. Ivanchuk 6. Grischuk 7. Gelfand 8. Svidler Gangi ykkur vel! / Good luck to everyone!

Mar-16-13		Golden Executive: Hi <lostemperor>, seems like you missed my prediction.

Mar-16-13		lostemperor: <Golden Executive> I did not miss your prediction. You made a prediction in an unreadable format. It cannot be read by the machine. If everyone make such prediction it would be lots of work for me to put it in the software correctly. I will make an exception this time and include you in.

Mar-16-13		OhioChessFan: Carlsen looks like Kevin's brother.
