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 157 OF 285 · Later Kibitzing>
May-27-14		The Last Straw: Ah won't be able to take that into account, so I'll stick with those predictions for now.

May-29-14		lostemperor: As for Topalov's rating: that should be 2772 of course:)

May-29-14		YouRang: Norway Final standings: 1.Carlsen 2.Caruana 3.Karjakin 3.Aronian 3.Grischuk 6.Kramnik 6.Giri 8.Svidler 9.Topalov 10.Agdestein

May-29-14		WannaBe: Woo woo woo, another chance for me to come in dead last. 1. Carlsen 2. Karjakin 3. Grischuk 3. Kramnik 5. Topalov 6. Aronian 7. Caruana 8. Svidler 8. Giri 10. Agdestein

May-29-14		perfidious: <WannaBe: Woo woo woo, another chance for me to come in dead last.> Good thing I'm not in it--you'd get a run for your money!

May-30-14		lostemperor: Try this: 1. Aronian 2. Carlsen 3. Topalov 3. Kramnik 3. Caruana 6. Giri 7. Karjakin 8. Grischuk 9. Svidler 10. Agdestein as my attempt:)

May-30-14		bugabay: 1.Kramnik 2.Caruana 3.Topalov 3.Aronian 3.Grischuk 6. Giri 7.Carlsen 8.Svidler 9.Karjakin 10.Agdestein

May-30-14		isemeria: My prediction for Norway Chess final standings: 1. Carlsen 2. Caruana 3. Karjakin 4. Aronian 5. Grischuk 6. Kramnik 7. Topalov 8. Svidler 9. Giri 10. Agdestein <lostemperor>, Thanks once again for doing this. Always interesting.

May-30-14		SwitchingQuylthulg: 1. Carlsen 2. Caruana 2. Aronian 2. Grischuk 2. Kramnik 2. Topalov 7. Svidler 7. Giri 7. Karjakin 10. Agdestein

May-30-14		The Last Straw: Oops. I had repeated Caruana in my original prediction. New prediction (including small edit with Giri): 1. Carlsen 2. Caruana 2. Kramnik 3. Aronian 3. Grischuk 7. Topalov 7. Karjakin 8. Svidler 8. Giri 10. Agdestein

May-30-14		chessmoron: 1. Carlsen 2. Aronian 3. Karjakin 3. Kramnik 5. Caruana 5. Giri 7. Svidler 8. Topalov 9. Grischuk 10. Agdestein

May-30-14		MountainMatt: 1. Carlsen 2. Aronian 3. Caruana 4. Topalov 5. Karjakin 6. Kramnik 7. Grischuk 8. Giri 9. Svidler 10. Agdestein But what do I know? :-/

May-30-14		Golden Executive: <The Last Straw: 1. Carlsen 2. Caruana 2. Kramnik 3. Aronian 3. Grischuk 7. Topalov 7. Karjakin 8. Svidler 8. Giri 10. Agdestein> Hi <The Last Straw>, according with <lostemperor>´s format rule, there is something wrong with the consecutive order of positions, v.gr: with Topalov tied with Karjakin at seventh place, Svidler can not be 8th; or with Carlsen at 1st, and Caruana tied with Kramnik at 2nd place, Aronian can not be 3rd. I hope that helps.

May-30-14		The Last Straw: <Golden Executive> Oops. Ignored what my changes did. 1. Carlsen 2. Caruana 2. Kramnik 4. Aronian 4. Grischuk 6. Topalov 6. Karjakin 8. Svidler 8. Giri 10. Agdestein Let's hope that works. Grr!!!

Jun-01-14		LucB: Here goes nothing: 1. Caruana 1. Carlsen 3. Grischuk 3. Karjakin 3. Giri 6. Kramnik 6. Aronian 8. Topalov 8. Svidler 10. Agdestein Carlsen on tie-breaks, whatever they are.

Jun-01-14		Penguincw: Wow! Already time. Following the same method as last time: 1. Carlsen 1. Caruana 1. Kramnik 4. Aronian 5. Agdestein 6. Topalov 7. Karjakin 8. Grischuk 8. Svidler 10. Giri

Jun-01-14		ashishshukla299: 1.carlsen 2.aronian 3.giri=caruana 5.kramnik=grischuk=karjakin 8.topalov 9.svidler 10.agdestein

Jun-01-14		Golden Executive: <The Last Straw: <Golden Executive> Oops. Ignored what my changes did.> Is Good to see you made the corrections on time.

Jun-01-14		The Last Straw: <Golden Executive> Thanks for showing me my mistake!!

Jun-01-14		LucB: <ashishshukla299> I don't know if this way that you used to make your prediction will work with <lostemperor>'s system of recording everybody's predictions.

Jun-01-14		Golden Executive: <The Last Straw> You´re welcome. <LucB> I hope <ashishshukla299> can read your post before the tournament begins, because I am almost certainly that the format he used would not be accepted by <lostemperor>´s software.

Jun-01-14		LucB: <Golden Executive>, let's hope so.
