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!

Nov-10-07		lostemperor: <ahmadov> are all participant known now and when does it start? I'm afraid my Russian is not very good looking;) Ow, I believe it starts today? That would be much too late to start.

Nov-10-07		ahmadov: <lostemperor> I do not think so... I think it is not late even after round 1 as things may change by the end...

Nov-10-07		ahmadov: Some have already posted their predictions on Tal Memorial (2007) We need you to organize an official contest :)

Nov-10-07		Open Defence: isnt Chessmoron organising one?

Nov-10-07		ahmadov: <Open Defence: isnt Chessmoron organising one?> We are talking about a contest for final standings, not round by round predictions...

Nov-10-07		Open Defence: Oh sorry didnt read the post in the middle

Nov-10-07		lostemperor: Dang, I see it has already started!! I'm afraid it is too late now anyhow <ahmadov> (we can make a personal contest again like we once did of course hehe). Thnx for letting me know though!

Nov-10-07		ahmadov: <lostemperor> Sorry, I should have let you know earlier...

Nov-10-07		lostemperor: No it's ok! <chessmoron> already told me a few weeks ago about the tournament with Russian link though. I guess I was preoccupied lately :)

Jan-01-08		kolobok: Corus is coming up don't miss it lostemeror :))

Jan-02-08		lostemperor: Not a chance <kolobok> thanks though! It's time to strike the harp and join the Corus. <PREDICTION CONTEST ON FINAL STANDINGS CORUS 2008>. You think you know who is where at Corus, make your predictions for the tournament. The participants are the following (in October rating order): 1. Anand 2. Ivanchuk 3. Kramnik 4. Topalov 5. Leko 6. Mamedyarov 7. Radjabov 8. Aronian 9. Gelfand 10. Adams 11. Carlsen 12. Polgar 13. Eljanov 14. Van Wely Please put them in correct finishing order if you will ;-) Each deviation of your prediction from the actual player's standing will deduct one point from your maximum. In case of a shared standings the highest standing counts (actual and in your predictions). Good luck.
