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!

  lostemperor: Of course in all these awe I forgot to mention <Wordfunph> who neatly took the Bronze (with the South-Artic bird also) in the Absolute ranker! <;)
Sep-02-15  Robin01: Thanks for running the contest.

  Penguincw: Hehe, one medal of each kind (gold, silver, bronze). Too bad "only" the good will be inducted. I do have to wonder what happens if that rule didn't exist. Imagine the HOF. I guess I'll do a simulation until the next tournament.

Speaking of which, is LCC by any chance the next tournament?

Anyway, thanks for hosting, and congrats to the winners, especially <Robin01>, who <also> picked up a gold, silver and bronze.

Sep-02-15  wordfunph: <lost> gracias :)

cheers to all winners!

Sep-02-15  Karposian: Thanks, <lostemperor> for another great prediction contest. Congrats to all the medal winners, even <Penguincw> :)

My daring (insane, according to our dear host) predictions didn't turn out so well. But great fun as always. See you all next time, guys! Cheers.

Sep-02-15  YouRang: Thanks <lostemperor>, and good jobs by <Robin01>, <Penguincw>, <call14>, <wordfunph>, and <lostemperor>.

A perfectly dismal performance by me, but someone has to prop up the winners.

Sep-02-15  Golden Executive: Thanks <lostemperor> for running the contest and congratulations to all of the medal winners, especially to <Penguincw> and <Robin01> for being first place in 2 Rankers!

See you gals and guys next time.

Sep-02-15  WinKing: Thanks <lostemperor> for running & hosting this fun contest!

Congratulations to all of the winners! Strong predictions from both <Penguincw> & <Robn01> put them atop two rankers each - kudos!

  lostemperor: I am not planning to do the London Chess Classic since it is in the busy month December. I prefer to go directly to January's Tatasteel chess!

However this forum is open to make London chess predictions if you like now and I can run the CONMAN software a few times, if only for fun, since I only have to change local player So for Adams to have the results :)

Alright, I'll participate in LCC, just for fun. :)

I just realized that <Robin> and I both won a gold to remain tied at 10th best overall (all 3 contests) with 13 gold, but <Robin> has won way more silver.
