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-25-15		WinKing: Thanks for hosting a lively affair <lostemperor>! With all of the very young players in this tournament it was hard to tell what would happen next. Congratulations to all of the medalists!

Jan-25-15		WannaBe: Thanks, <lostemperor>, for another great contest!! Will see you for the next one.

Jan-25-15		Penguincw: Wow! Finishing up with 6 jackpots. For whatever reason, whenever you comment on my predictions, I always win a gold. :) I hope my next set of predilections (whenever that will be) will blow you away. ;) Anyway, thanks for hosting, and congrats to the medalists, especially <wordfunph>, who came close to a triple crown. BTW: What's the next tournament? Zurich seems good, but it has a small field, so Norway would probably be best.

Jan-25-15		lostemperor: It is no coincidence you also won the betting ranker at <YouRang> forum <Penguincw>!:) I am not sure when the next attractive tournament is. There will be a strong tournament in Grenke, but in slightly over a week, a bit soon (and not so attractive as Tata)!

Jan-25-15		OhioChessFan: Thanks Yoda. I didn't think I was doing all that well, but I think if So had not won in the last round, I'd have a gold. Very hard tournament in any case. Congratulations to the winners.

Jan-25-15		WannaBe: Don't think anyone thought Aronian would have such a sub-par performance. I think people also had high expectations of Caruana...

Jan-26-15		YouRang: Thanks <lostemperor> for running the contest. A regrettably poor showing by me, unless you give points for consistency: third from bottom in all contests!

Jan-26-15		SwitchingQuylthulg: Thanks to <lostemperor>, and congratulations to the other medalists!
