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!

Jan-11-14		lostemperor: Sad news has reached us of GM Vugar Gashimov's passing away at the early age of 27. A great loss for the Azerbaijan team. May he rest in peace.

Jan-12-14		lostemperor: The reason it says Sow instead of So for Wesley So is because the software needs three letters to read a player. I have to correct it manually. So just too short a name <;)

Jan-12-14		OhioChessFan: Sol or Soe might be better options. Sow looks to me like sow as in a female hog, rhymes with now.

Jan-12-14		lostemperor: I did not know sow means a female hog or more of those lovely animals http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sow But it is Sow as in So W.. So be it.

Jan-12-14		lostemperor: <YouRang> <The Last Straw> It is a pity but I sometimes also forgot tournaments or the beginning of it. I also thought the Tata starts a little early this year and if you have not recovered yet from a heavy holidays it could be easy forgotten :)
