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!

Jul-17-09		lostemperor: Delft is an old cultural town. Johannes Vermeer lived and worked here. Did you also know the youngest GM in the world lives in Delft Anish Giri :-)

Jul-17-09		Ragh: What's the deal with the GM Anish Giri?! He should be playing in more events to gain experience. Being in Holland as compared to other countries is supposed to bring in more opportunities to play in tournaments around the world.

Jul-19-09		lostemperor: <Ragh> I think being in Holland will give him opportunites to play a lot of tournaments in Holland not so much in the world. Fortunately Holland has relative plenty of strong, Corus Hoogeveen, and less strong tournaments. He will be playing http://www.onjk.nl/ this month. Not exactly a top tournament but later this year Hoogeveen tournament will be!

Jul-20-09		ahmadov: <lostemperor: Hi <ahmadov>. Yes right! Was a long time ago I almost forgot. Time for you to visit the Netherlands again ;)> I really hope to come some time in the future... I will definitely visit your place if even I will have to travel to Amsterdam...

Jul-21-09		lostemperor: Amsterdam is an interesting place Zahir. Looking forward meeting you again someday soon!

Aug-02-09		Winter: <lostemperor: <Winter> if it is not too much trouble could I have my Yoda avatar back please. I accidently let my time run out.> It's ok with me but if I drop Yoda right now, somebody might get it. When do you want me to drop the avatar? We have different time zone.

Aug-02-09		lostemperor: <Winter> if you are you online now respond to this message so we can make a change :) Thanks

Aug-02-09		lostemperor: Okay, it seems you checked out. I will check some other time to see if you are at chessgames and contact you. Around what time GMT are you likely here in your part of the world?

Aug-02-09		Winter: <lostemperor: Okay, it seems you checked out. I will check some other time to see if you are at chessgames and contact you. Around what time GMT are you likely here in your part of the world?>Tomorrow,August03 @4:00 PM (HongKong/Pacific Time),I'll change my avatar. I don't know what time is it at your end, but definitely I'll give it back to you. <lostemperor>=<Jedi Yoda> <Jedi Yoda>=<lostemperor> **

Aug-03-09		lostemperor: <Winter> it is just I got a little attached to that avatar but in case you like it too I will do with another.

Aug-03-09		lostemperor: Thanks <Winter>. May the Force be with you!

Aug-04-09		Red October: great!! you look your green old self again :)

Aug-07-09		lostemperor: Thanks <Red> October!

Aug-07-09		whiteshark: Funny, that is. :D

Sep-25-09		OhioChessFan: Be sure to stop by my forum for the Pearl Spring Moves Prediction Conteset. Pairings to be announced Sunday? OhioChessFan chessforum

Sep-27-09		chessmoron: Hey, <lostemperor> you having the Pearl Spring tournament prediction here? If yes, 1. Carlsen 2. Topalov 3. Leko 4. Wang Yue 5. Jakovenko 6. Radjabov

Sep-29-09		lostemperor: Oh sorry guys, I was on a trip abroad. This is a heck of a tournament!

Oct-11-09		lostemperor: So I will be holding the <Tal Memorial 2009> final standings prediction contest starting November 5! Participants: 1. Anand 2. Aronian 3. Carlsen 4. Kramnik 5. Leko 6. Ivanchuk 7. Gelfand 8. Morozevich 9. Svidler 10. Ponomariov GL.

Oct-11-09		DCP23: <lostemperor: So I will be holding the <Tal Memorial 2009> final standings prediction contest starting November 5!> Excellent! Thank you! Now let me think about the prediction... ;)

Oct-11-09		rogge: Good stuff! 1. Carlsen I'll have to think a bit about the rest :)

Oct-11-09		YouRang: Alright, here we go -- Tal Memorial 2009 forecast: 1. Carlsen 2. Anand 3. Aronian 4. Kramnik 5. Ivanchuk 6. Morozevich 7. Gelfand 8. Leko 9. Ponomariov 10. Svidler

Oct-11-09		Where is my mind: Thanks for hosting <lostemperor>. 10. Svidler? How could such a consistent player come last? I don't think he will win,but Svidler will be hard to beat...Anand has never beaten him with the black pieces.

Oct-12-09		DCP23: <Where is my mind: Thanks for hosting <lostemperor>. 10. Svidler? How could such a consistent player come last? I don't think he will win,but Svidler will be hard to beat...Anand has never beaten him with the black pieces.> Indeed! Can anyone here remember a tournament -- ANY kind of tournament -- where Svidler was last? Don't think so. In fact, Anand has much better chances of coming last than Svidler (still pretty low, of course).

Oct-12-09		YouRang: <Indeed! Can anyone here remember a tournament -- ANY kind of tournament -- where Svidler was last?> There's always got to be a first time. ;-)

Oct-13-09		lostemperor: The hardest thing IMO is to predict who is going to finish first or last! :)
