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!

Oct-16-06		suenteus po 147: Wow, I finally placed first. I rule!!! ;)

Oct-16-06		positionalgenius: I got 4!! I got 4!!

Oct-17-06		Jafar219: Your list The 40 greatest Chess Geniuses of all times is bull @#$%.

Oct-17-06		positionalgenius: <jafar219>And your list is...?

Oct-17-06		positionalgenius: <jafar>I see you are from Baku.Insulting a respected kibitzer like this is flat ourt stupid.Your countryman <ahmadov> would not do that.

Oct-17-06		Jafar219: Your respected kibitzer`s list is very subjective.I don`t like it.

Oct-17-06		positionalgenius: <Jafar219>You don't like much,do you?

Oct-17-06		lostemperor: I see you met Jafar219 :)

Jan-02-07		YouRang: Hi <lostemperor>. Are you getting ready to run the final standings prediction contest for <Corus 2007>? GM Veselin Topalov BUL 2813 GM Viswanathan Anand IND 2779 GM Vladimir Kramnik RUS 2750 GM Peter Svidler RUS 2750 GM Levon Aronian ARM 2741 GM Teymour Radjabov AZE 2729 GM David Navara CZE 2725 GM Alexey Shirov ESP 2720 GM Ruslan Ponomariov UKR 2703 GM Magnus Carlsen NOR 2698 GM Sergey Tiviakov NED 2680 GM Loek van Wely NED 2676 GM Sergey Karjakin UKR 2672 GM Alexander Motylev RUS 2662 Looks like an interesting contest with a mix of long-timers and new-comers.

Jan-04-07		lostemperor: Hi <YouRang>. Guess what my hard drive broke down of old age (and perhaps a lot of kibitzes hehehe). I lost your contest manager program (I have a sort of back up in another computer but somehow it doesn't seem to work the same). Can you send me another copy of your great program. Thanks in advance. Yes folks, Corus tournament is coming to town and its going to be a war zone. With Kramnik and Topalov continuing their feud I'm sure. And a lot of old and new blood. Please send in your final standings predictions.

Jan-04-07		YouRang: <lostemperor> Ouch. Sorry to hear about your hard drive. I've had that happen too -- what a headache! Anyway, I have emailed the Contest Manager software to you, and included a YRC file from last year's Corus tournament, in case you should need it. As I recall, I needed to use an attachment of .zoo instead of .zip to get past your site security (heh!). Let me know if you don't see it soon.
