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!

Mar-05-14		Penguincw: < lostemperor: The HOF is updated. However I still need to make a complete list of all non gold medal winners and post it here. I am behind in that unfortunatly to say. But nothing is lost! So it could be incomplete still also for our new HOFers! > To <try> to help you out, there's a list from 2007 (User: lostemperor), though that list needs to be seriously updated.

Mar-09-14		lostemperor: Thanks <Penguincw>. It has some time updating to do but when that has happened it will be kept. You have a rather unusual prediction. I can only agree with you on three or four players spots at the most. Makes me wonder what your method is :-)

Mar-09-14		WinKing: World Chess Championship Candidates Tournament 2014 predictions: 1. Aronian 2. Karjakin 2. Kramnik 4. Anand 5. Svidler 5. Topalov 7. Andreikin 8. Mamedyarov

Mar-09-14		Penguincw: < lostemperor: Thanks <Penguincw>. It has some time updating to do but when that has happened it will be kept. You have a rather unusual prediction. I can only agree with you on three or four players spots at the most. Makes me wonder what your method is :-) > You're welcome. :) Regarding the method, it's pretty simple, but not very accurate. Anyway, (hopefully I didn't make any errors) what my method does is compare the overall record between players in classical chess, and give it a "game result". For example, Aronian has a positive record against Karjakin, so I gave Aronian a "1", and Karjakin a "0". If it's tied, then each player gets 1/2. If they never faced in <classical> chess, they both get half a point (which is why <Andreikin> placed so high). I do it like a round-robin I've been using that method for quite some time, including the time when I included some player's name twice, so someone can actually predict what I was "thinking" months/years ago. :) Despite all this, I would still like to bring in those predictions for the tournament.

Mar-10-14		SloVice: My picks: 1. Aronian 2. Topalov 3. Kramnik 3. Karjakin 5. Anand 6. Svidler 7. Mamedyarov 8. Andreikin
