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-23-13		Golden Executive: Thanks <lostemperor> for hosting and running. Congratulations to all the medal winners and welcome <SoUnwiseTheKnightB4> to the Hall of Fame! See you guys next time.

Jun-23-13		SoUnwiseTheKnight B4: Thank you guys! :) Making the Hall of Fame on the first try is an awesome consolation for me considering the disaster of the final two days. Thanks to <lostemperor> for running a great show, and all the hard work you have to do after every round. Thanks to everyone who played. Congratulations to the other winners and of course to <SwitchingQuylthulg> for his amazing hat trick of the Absolute and Square ranker here, but also beating out <brankat> for 1st place in the chessbookie standings. (!!!) And Congratulations to <Golden Executive> who i noticed did a super job the last two rounds to finish 13th in the chessbookie standings. (i'm only 200 spots back :)

Jun-23-13		YouRang: Thank you <lostemperor> for running the contest. One would have to be half out their mind to predict the way this tournament finished. (That's not intended to offend the winners -- just an attempt to rationalize my feeble performance.) Congrats to the medalist, especially <SwitchingQuylthlg> and <SoUnwiseTheKnight B4>.

Jun-24-13		WinKing: I have put the updated list for all entrants into the HALL OF FAME in my forum. All four contests are included - <chessmoron>, <YouRang>, <lostemperor> & <The Last Straw>.

And do you btw,know when the next big one will start ?

Jun-24-13		whiteshark: Thank you for running/hosting another fine contest, <lostemperor>! My congratulations to all winners!! In seems I’ve been consistently wrong on almost everything. ;)
