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!

May-14-13		lostemperor: The two local players won yesterday. I have followed those two decisive games live. Karjakin got overconfident against Carlsen and played for the win what is the correct attitude. It was dangerous however when he puts his king on the diagonal of black's queen and bishop. After that it was all forced downhill for Karjakin according to the world's record rating holder Carlsen himself. Hammer - Wang was a Zeitnot duel, where both made mistakes. Hammer had mostly the better of the game and won. I expected a win for either black or white. In the Prediction Game <Golden Executive> has still kept the lead from day one! He got company though from <Diademas> in the absolute ranker. <SwitchingQuylthulg> is leading the prestigious daily exchange rate of the pair betting by several nice bets so far.

May-14-13		lostemperor: <ROUND 6 UPDATE <Another great stunt of Carlsen if I may say so profanely, squeezing water out of stone again! < == Round 6 - Tue 14May2013 Carlsen - Radjabov 1-0 Topalov - Wang 1/2 Anand - Karjakin 1/2 Aronian - Hammer 1-0 Nakamura - Svidler 1/2 <standings: 1.

May-15-13		lostemperor: I recently found out that one of the commentators in Norway is the Dutch Dirk jan ten Geuzendam. Not a GM but a chess interviewer. He did look familiar to me. With GM Simen Agdestein, also called the Norwegian answer to Nigel Short when a young chess player. The comments London of Short is better and deeper though than in Norway:) Also I am glad to know, from hearing the commentators, that the main language in Norway is English! ;)
