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!

Jun-19-15		lostemperor: It hit me that besides Hammer and Vachier-Lagrave, everyone in Norway has had 2800 or more now or at some point in the live ratings! And besides Giri even 2810 or more!

Jun-19-15		OhioChessFan: Stop the contest now! I have done so bad in the past that I almost took a crazy chance this time. I had Carlsen third........and then chickened out. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Jun-19-15		Penguincw: < lostemperor: It hit me that besides Hammer and Vachier-Lagrave, everyone in Norway has had 2800 or more now or at some point in the live ratings! And besides Giri even 2810 or more! > You can also look at it the other way: everyone that has ever hit 2800+ on the live ratings is participating at Norway, except for Kasparov and Kramnik.

Jun-19-15		WannaBe: I think I had a typo in my prediction list, I did not mean to put Hammer down the list that far, I mean to put the <OTHER> Norwegian down the list that far. =))

Jun-20-15		lostemperor: <ROUND 4 UPDATE <Topalov leading ...

Jun-20-15		lostemperor: Despite lack of courage <OhioChessFan> leads in all three rankers! Five rounds to go :D

Jun-20-15		OhioChessFan: The chess world is pondering which is more unlikely: After 4 rounds, Carlsen in last place, or <OhioChessFan> in first place.

Jun-20-15		lostemperor: We for the first time see a large pay-off result (Jackpot size) that shows Carlsen's lack of form: $17.00,Aronian-above-Carlsen, lakshashishu !!! :P

Jun-20-15		WinKing: <lostemperor: Despite lack of courage <OhioChessFan> leads in all three rankers!> <OhioChessFan: The chess world is pondering which is more unlikely: After 4 rounds, Carlsen in last place, or <OhioChessFan> in first place.> This is, no doubt, the equivalent of a Major League Baseball pitcher pitching a perfect game. Quick everyone to the other side of the bench...no contact.

Jun-20-15		OhioChessFan: Uhoh. I think I just jinxed myself. The only thing worse would be if <Wannabe> commented on it. And I just realized.......9 rounds.....9 innings.

Jun-20-15		lostemperor: Oh wait Aronian above Carlsen was already from round 2. Just occur to me now. No conselation for Aronian however ..
