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 135 OF 285 · Later Kibitzing>
Mar-27-13		lostemperor: The top 3 has won in London, making it a sensational final. Same goes for the predictions standings where three different leaders top the lists. Top Hall of Famer <YouRang> emerges on top for the first time in the absolute ranker, while <OhioChessFan> is back in the lead in the square ranker and hopes for his first gold. Gentle giant of the first several tournaments <WannaBe> shows he is again back and holds the initiative in the most prestigeous pair betting. But with four rounds to go no one is safe yet here or in London!

Mar-29-13		lostemperor: Major developements in London. Everyone except Carlsen changes place. Kramnik closed the gap with Carlsen to 0.5 points and will continue to harass him untill the last round. That is if my predictions were correct. In the predictions standings: <WannaBe> and <OhioChessFan> came out on top. The first in three rankers. Today, new round new chances!

Mar-29-13		lostemperor: Judgementday in London. Two black wins, Carlsen lost to Ivanchuk and Kramnik beat Aronian. I rest my case. <WannaBe> on top of all three rankers with two rounds to go.

Mar-29-13		OhioChessFan: <<WannaBe> on top of all three rankers with two rounds to go.> The end is coming!

Mar-29-13		whiteshark: <<WannaBe> on top of all three rankers with two rounds to go.> Where on earth is the justice in that, I ask myself! ♙eace :D

Mar-29-13		WannaBe: No justice, no piece! No justice, no piece!!

Mar-30-13		lostemperor: <OhioChessFan> second in all three rankers. The Mayans were right all along, a time of renewed Consciousness and Awakening has come!

Mar-30-13		Tiggler: Pretty obvious that Aronian and Ivanchuk are fixing this for <WannaBe>. He's probably got their daughters chained up in his basement.

Mar-30-13		OhioChessFan: I think <lostemperor> should fix this, for <Wannabe's> sake, of course: <Wannabe: I actually believe Carlsen and Kramnik will tie, and Kramnik will win on/in tie-break. But I don't know how to post that, or if that is considered as 'final' standing. So... 1. Kramnik 2. Carlsen 3. Gelfand 3. Svidler 5. Aronian 5. Grischuk 7. Radjabov 7. Ivanchuk > --- Unless Carlsen <does> happen to tie Kramnik, then the entry is final.

Mar-31-13		lostemperor: <WannaBe> could have simply put Carlsen in a tie with Kramnik, if he thought that would be the case, by predicting: 1. Kramnik 1. Carlsen ... like he did with a shared 3rd place for Gelfand and Svidler above.
