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!

FINAL STANDINGS PREDICTIONS

Feb-01-10		Aurora: Hi <lostemperor>! Many thanks for running the Corus 2010 predictions with daily updates and all write stuff. It is most appreciated! bæbæ

Feb-01-10		PinnedPiece: <Second became <chessmoron> and <OhioChessFan>! Maximum score: 910 Score,UserID 888,Aurora 866,chessmoron 866,OhioChessFan ~~~~ 866,PinnedPiece > Congrats <chessmoron> and <OCF> on your alphabetical order!!!! <lostemperor> many thanks for providing a challenging entertainment!

Feb-01-10		lostemperor: Ouch, sorry <PinnedPiece>, I did you wrong!! Thank you for letting me know .. REVISE: User <PinnedPiece> is equally second in the tough SQUARE RANKER CORUS 2010 !!!!! You were close also on both surprise players SHIROV and NAKAMURA. Just outside the minor {BNP)-Awards!! My apologies..

Feb-01-10		lostemperor: With so much posting of results in finishing the tournament, I was bound to make a mistake :)

Feb-01-10		PinnedPiece: <lostemperor> :-))

Feb-01-10		NakoSonorense: <What does your name means btw?> It doesn't mean anything special, really. The word "naco" is used in Mexico to refer to poor people or people of low social class. I just changed the "c" to a "k" to make it look cooler, I guess. Sonorense means "from Sonora," a state in Northern Mexico from which I hail. <sneaky> pointed out that NakoSonorense is an anagram for "a nonsense rook" but that is just a coincidence! Now that I think about it, maybe I should have used a better name, a higher class name. Maybe something along the lines of "emperor"! =)

Feb-02-10		Billy Vaughan: Heehee, my predictions were pretty bad. I seem to do better at YouRang's contests. I'll try hard at both next time!

Feb-02-10		lostemperor: <NakoSonorense> "naco" happens also to appeal to me. Maybe we should exchange IDs! :)

Feb-02-10		lostemperor: <Billy Vaughan> the next contest is Linares. With only six players it is not getting any easier, I think that Linares has about the same average rating as Corus but with a lot less favourites or underdogs! (;

Feb-02-10		rogge: <yoda>, thanks for hosting. Fun as always :) Congrats to the winners!

Feb-03-10		lostemperor: Linares is early this year! Starting February 12th. Here the players: 1. Topalov 2. Aronian 3. Grischuk 4. Vallejo Pons 5. Gelfand 6. Gashimov

Feb-03-10		suenteus po 147: My predictions for the final standings: 1. Grischuk 1. Gelfand 3. Gashimov 3. Aronian 5. Topalov 6. Vallejo Pons
