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!

Aug-20-15		Penguincw: <Robin01> Minor formatting errors: Grischuk and Anand should be tied for 7th, while Giri and Vachier-Lagrave should be tied for 9th. :)

Aug-20-15		Robin01: Perhaps a better way to state my predictions: 1. Carlsen 2. Nakamura 3. Aronian 4. Caruana 5/6. Topalov 5/6. So 7/8. Grischuk 7/8. Anand 9/10. Giri 9/10. Vachier

Aug-20-15		Penguincw: <Robin01> Well, close. Just get rid of the 2nd number (ex. instead of "5/6.", just "5." for both guys will be fine). I do feel like I'm being really picky though, but with software, you never know. ;) FTR: If you want to delete those posts, but it's been over an hour, just find the post number, and paste it to this: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/kill... (enter reply no. at the end)

Aug-21-15		lostemperor: <moronovich> Okay, so I see the tournament starts Sunday at 1PM local time! <Penguincw Robin01>I believe the CONMAN calculating software read the 5/6 input also so that is no problem :)
