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 149 OF 285 · Later Kibitzing>
Jan-15-14		lostemperor: After three rounds six players share 1-6 place with +1! Besides the top three seeds also Harikrishna. So and Giri. A neat 50% from Richard Rapport together with Karjakin who maybe a bit disappointed. Van Wely and Dominguez sit at -1 and last places for Gelfand, who expected more and is still to get warm as is Naiditsch at -2. In the predictions <wordfunph> tops the three rankers but anything can happen with 8 rounds to go.

Jan-15-14		OhioChessFan: <anything can happen with 8 rounds to go> Anything except Elvis and the Wabbit winning.
