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!

Jun-15-13		lostemperor: Round 2 saw another two remarkable wins with black. This time from Nakamura and Gelfand. The two players I am rooting for. It is a win win situation for me. I lose points but am satisfied! Two players have only decisive games. Caruana and Kramnik. Though for Kramnik it is not what he expected and neither did I or most of us.

Jun-15-13		lostemperor: An unorthodox tournament standing after 3 rounds requires an unorthodox prediction. That is best done by new comer <SoUnwiseTheKnight B4> who took the lead on all three rankers. Tomorrow restday but so what you don't have to make predictions anymore. Six more exciting rounds to go!:)

Jun-15-13		King Sacrificer: Let's see how far <SoUnwiseTheKnight B4> will go with Carlsen at the 6th spot. :)

Jun-16-13		lostemperor: Well so far so good for B4, Carlsen is on an average 6th spot but the players are still very close together.:) He has one of his bad days though few..

Jun-16-13		lostemperor: Correction to my earlier comment: Nakamura also has only decisive games together with Caruana now (two wins and one loss each)!
