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-05-16		moronovich: And good luck to all contestants and thanks to <lostemperor> for once again hosting !

Aug-05-16		WannaBe: <moronovich> I don't believe in luck, I believe in good predictions.

Aug-05-16		moronovich: <<moronovich> I don't believe in luck, I believe in good predictions.> Me too.But if you win,say 10 millions in the lottery, I would call that luck. So I guess luck exists wheter we believe in it or not.

Aug-05-16		Penguincw: The tournament has started.

Aug-06-16		lostemperor: Thanks <Penguincw>! The tournament started fiercly with fighting games. Wesley So and Topalov getting a full point! Going to be exciting days ahead in Sinquefield and here. Will have the CONMAN software running asap!

Aug-06-16		lostemperor: Mind contestants <moronovich> and <chessmoron> for posting predictions the software did not read. MLV should be Vachier and in case of <chessmoron> the numbers did not quite fit but it is fixed now.
