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!

May-08-08		ahmadov: Before letting us thank you for the held contest, you seem to start a new one... Thanks for the past contest!

May-08-08		ahmadov: Here is my predictions for MTel Masters: 1. Radjabov 2. Topalov 3. Aronian 4. Ivanchuk 5. Bu 6. Cheparinov

May-08-08		lostemperor: I see that there is a lot of prediction for Mtel, which I wasn't planned to hold:) Well we'll see what to do about this.. My predictions: 1. Topalov 2. Ivanchuk 3. Aronian 4. Radjabov 5. Bu 5. Cheparinov

May-08-08		nimh: I hope it's not late 1. Topalov 2. Ivanchuk 3. Bu 4. Aronian 5. Radjabov 6. Cheparinov

May-09-08		lostemperor: Ok, we have a prediction game. I should have more guidelines as to when one is hold. Being a mere servant for the community;) Sorry if you didn't make a prediction because you thought there was no prediction contest.

May-09-08		DrawingIsLife: I forgot to put rank numbers on my prediction 1. Aronian +3 2. Bu +1 3. Ivanchuk +1 4. Radjabov -1 5. Topalov -1 6. Cheparinov -3 1st round didnt go that well for my prediction, but you cant lose faith that easy. <Lostemperor>, I hope we didnt push you to hold a prediction contest that you didnt plan to have. :)

May-10-08		lostemperor: <DrawingisLife> I do need to make some clear guidelines when a prediction game is held. Otherwise some who might have wanted to participate would miss it by my mistake. I hope all have fun though. This prediction game is for and by the kibitzers. So if there is, say at least 10 participants, I would be glad holding it unless I explicitly mention not to.

May-10-08		lostemperor: Update coming up soon, (before the restday at the latest)! Tnx for your patience.

May-12-08		ahmadov: Hi Patrick! I have just posted annotation of our game on the game page... See if you have anything to add...

May-12-08		lostemperor: That is great Zahir!

May-13-08		lostemperor: <nimh: I hope it's not late> I checked at 15.10 EEST to see <Aurora> as the last predictor. Although I don't question that you have no knowledge of the games I do have to ask when did you post your prediction. I try to be lenient but as contest manager and courtesy to the other players the deadline what is the start of the games at 15.00 EEST should not be exceeded too much. In the meantime you're in. Thanks!

May-13-08		lostemperor: Before I give the halfway standings for the Prediction Game Mtel Sophia 2008 here the standings according to ELO, the ratings: 1. Topalov 2767 1. Aronian 2763 3. Radjabov 2751 4. Ivanchuk 2740 5. Bu 2708 6. Cheparinov 2695
