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!

Jan-14-10		YouRang: <lostemperor: <YouRang> I come across a practical problem concerning your CONMAN prediction reading program. The program read the first three letters of a name. It so happens Carlsen and Caruana has the same first three letters! So now what to do? Shall I solve this manually? :)> No, you don't have to do it manually. Here's how I did it: I set up Caruana with the 3-letter code "CRU": CRU=Caruana Then, in the [Setup] section, I set up a "filter fixup" to translate "Caru" to "CRU": FilterFixups=Caru->CRU So when someone enters a prediction like: Caruana - Carlsen 1/2 The software, before processing it, will automatically "fix" to be: CRUana - Carlsen 1/2 And the "CRUana" will be identified as player CRU, distinct from player CAR (i.e. Carlsen). All such name conflicts can be handled this way. Of course, it would be tricker if there were two players with the same last name. In that case, we would need to establish some convention that includes part of the first name. I'll worry about it when it happens. :-) Let me know if you have any other questions about it.

Jan-14-10		lostemperor: Thanks <YouRang>!
