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!

Mar-19-07		cu8sfan: I won a medal? I can't believe it! Is it true? Thanks, <lostemperor>!

Mar-19-07		positionalgenius: <lostemperor>Thanks for listing me on the hall of winners. Its an honor.:)

Mar-20-07		lostemperor: <cu8sfan, positionalgenius> You have earned it! Thank you:)

Mar-30-07		ahmadov: <lostemperor> Hi, we two posted predictions for the Amber tournament. Do you think it is appropirate to post the final results for our contest? :)

Mar-30-07		lostemperor: <ahmadov> Congratulations, you won with flying colors! I knew some of my predictions suck. Svidler on 11 is ridiculous. I only spent little time on those predictions and did want to change some like Svidler. It seems Kramnik's style is still the best. At least at blindfold games! Topalov may be handicapped playing blindfolded but kramnik on the other hand should play only with a headphone on, if you know what I mean hehehe!

Mar-31-07		ahmadov: Thanks! I do not believe that I would have done any good if many people had joined this contest as I also had problems in predicting for Kramnik and Radja...

Apr-03-07		lostemperor: The line up for Sofia Mtel tournament is known. 1. Topalov 2. Mamedyarov 3. Adams 4. Kamsky 5. Nisipeanu 6. Sasikiran http://mtelmasters.com/

Apr-05-07		Elixir of Life: Okay, this is gonna be WAAAYY in advance, and I might revise it, but here's my prediction for Mtel: 1. Kamsky 2. Mamedyarov 3. Topalov 4. Sasikiran 5. Adams 6. Nisipeanu

Apr-09-07		lostemperor: Kamsky first?!

Apr-09-07		suenteus po 147: My prediction for the Mtel final standings: 1. Topalov 2. Kamsky 3. Adams 4. Mamedyarov 5. Sasikiran 6. Nisipeanu

Apr-09-07		TheAlchemist: <lostemperor> 1.Topalov 2.Kamsky 3.Mamedyarov 4.Adams 5.Sasikiran 6.Nisipeanu

Apr-09-07		positionalgenius: OK Mtel 2007. 1.Mamedyarov 2.Kamsky 3.Topalov 4.Adams 5.Nisipeanu 6.Sasikiran

Apr-09-07		suenteus po 147: Mamedyarov first?!

Apr-09-07		WannaBe: Knowing how close the rating ELOs are between the 6 participants, I will do this: 1. Write down each name on a slip of paper. 2. Draw the names out of the hat 3. Post them as my prediction.

Apr-17-07		lostemperor: <WannaBe> that might just be as good as my bets =) 1. Toplov 2. Mamedyarov 3. Kamsky 4. Adams 5. Nisipeanu 6. Sasikiran And here my prognosis on the candidate matches: 1. Aronian - Carlsen 3.5-2.5 2. Leko - Gurevich 4-2 3. Ponomariov - Rublevsky 4-2 4. Gelfand - Kasimdzhanov 3.5-2.5 5. Bacrot - Kamsky 3.5-2.5 6. Grischuk - Malakhov 4-2 7. Polgar - Bareev 3.5-2.5 8. Shirov - Adams 2.5-3.5

Apr-17-07		WannaBe: Okay... Guess time to draw slips out of the hat... 1. Kamsky 2. Mamedyarov 3. Topalov 4. Nisipeanu 5. Adams 6. Sasikiran

Apr-17-07		iron maiden: Here's mine: 1. Topalov +4 2. Adams +1 3. Kamsky +1 4. Mamedyarov 0 5. Nisipeanu -2 6. Sasikiran -4

Apr-17-07		YouRang: Shockingly, it will finish as follows: 1. Adams 2. Topalov 3. Kamsky 4. Sasikiran 5. Nisipeanu 6. Mamedyarov

Apr-18-07		lostemperor: <iron maiden> should I take your Adams and Kamsky as shared second place, or keep it respectively as 2 and 3, since you put them both at +1? Btw, congratulations with your awesome performance of "The First ChessBookie Champion of the World (2007)"!!

Apr-18-07		iron maiden: <lostemperor> I guess keep Adams at place 2 and Kamsky at 3, like it says. <Btw, congratulations with your awesome performance of "The First ChessBookie Champion of the World (2007)"!!> Thanks!

May-06-07		chessmoron: FINAL STANDING 1. Topalov 2. Adams 3. Kamsky 4. Mamedyarov 5. Nisipeanu 6. Sasikiran
