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!

Mar-18-13		Everyone: <lostemperor> simply astonishing :>)

Mar-18-13		MarbleSkull: Hopefully that Svidler guy keeps doing well. It's still early, but I think the most common mistakes are underestimating him and overestimating Gelfand/Drawnik.

Mar-19-13		lostemperor: Here another quiz of who is who? Which photo is the real Boris Gelfand? http://en.chessbase.com/portals/4/f... or http://www.contactmusic.com/pics/m/...

Mar-19-13		moronovich: I have always thought that if we mix the faces of Henri Kissinger and Woody Allen we would have Boris Gelfand. <lostemperor> I am still chewing on your question.

Mar-20-13		lostemperor: I saw Gelfand in Corus tournament a few years ago. He was pacing nervously back an forth making funny faces in his brown jacket, it reminded me a lot of Mr. Bean :-p
