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-04-10		OhioChessFan: Wow, I think I'd have ended up a distant last.

Dec-06-10		fxenderby: Hy there, emperor! Remember me? Brazilian dude who bothered you in the Hague some years ago..? Well... How's it going? As for me, I suddenly remembered I never sent you that present I mentioned! Let's go with the christmas tide, dude! :)

Dec-23-10		lostemperor: Hey <fxenrderby>!! Of course I remember you! I thought you forgot me.. I don't know if I have any contact address from you. Except from here at chessgames that is. Good to hear from you again. Let's keep in touch once in a while!

Dec-23-10		lostemperor: Of course I'll be hosting the annual Corus chess tournament Final Stasndings Prediction Contest here again (after a long pause :(). Corus is now Tata steel http://www.tatasteelchess.com/parti... The GMA participants are: 1. Carlsen 2. Anand 3. Aronian 4. Kramnik 5. Grischuk 6. Ponomariov 7. Shirov 8.Nakamura 9. Hao Wang 10. Vachier-Lagrave 11. Nepomniachtchi 12. Giri 13. Smeets 14. l'Ami

Dec-23-10		lostemperor: Merry Christmas all!!

Dec-24-10		moronovich: Merry Christmas <lostemperor> and all the best for the New Year ! See you at Corus !?..

Dec-26-10		fxenderby: mery christmas, dude! let's do this... write me at cwg [at) ufpr.br we'll talk more freely that way, ok? :) cheers

Jan-08-11		lostemperor: Count down message: one week before Tatasteel tournament (Corus)

Jan-08-11		lostemperor: <moronovich> are you visiting Corus? Playing perhaps?! If so we might see each other :)

Jan-08-11		moronovich: <lostemperor> No I am not playing,but I am looking forward to the Cyberversion ;) But sounds like you will/may give it a go with the real wooden pieces,and in this case I wish you all the best and perhaps even a little luck !?

Jan-08-11		lostemperor: No I was planning just to visit the tournament! It is a huge experience though to play it (if only once in a ifetime) as I have done:)

Jan-08-11		lostemperor: <fxenderby> I could not reach you at the email address you gave. Was there any mistakes there?! Hope we can talk.

Jan-11-11		lostemperor: My predictions: 1. Carlsen 2. Aronian 3. Anand 4. Kramnik 5. Nepomniachtchi 5. Grischuk 7. Nakamura 7. Wang Hao 7. Vachier-Lagrave 10. Giri 10. Smeets 10. L'ami 10. Ponomariov 10. Shirov

Jan-11-11		lostemperor: <moronovich> I have joined the amateur tournaments more than once. Four times!:)

Jan-11-11		moronovich: Wauw ! So you were there in real !? Sounds great.When was it, if I may ask.And did you play in the same hall as the big guns, or ? To me Wijk,Corus,Tata is the best tournament of the year - needlessly to say there should be more "Wijks" during the year.13 rounds is far more suited for drama and also a more fair winner IMO. And more Ambers too = chessheaven ;)

Jan-11-11		SwitchingQuylthulg: Tata 2011: 1. Carlsen 1. Aronian 3. Anand 3. Grischuk 3. Nakamura 3. Kramnik 7. Vachier-Lagrave 7. Ponomariov 7. Nepomniachtchi 10. Wang Hao 10. Giri 10. Shirov 13. Smeets 13. L'ami

Jan-11-11		YouRang: Hi <lostemperor>. My sterling prediction is as follows: 1. Carlsen 2. Ponomariov 2. Aronian 4. Anand 4. Nakamura 4. Kramnik 7. Grischuk 7. Vachier-Lagrave 7. Giri 10. Shirov 10. Nepomniachtchi 12. Wang Hao 13. Smeets 13. L'ami

Jan-12-11		lostemperor: <moronovich> yes I played in the same hall as the top guns in chess around the late 90s! The first time, I was too low ranked to be in the same hall since there was so many participants. But later I was. Besides there is a participants stop. The first who enlist get in and almost all in the main hall. It is like a big gym hall with carpet. The GM are on a stage behind a low wooden "fence" so you cannot just walk into their area but you can come pretty close. Of course sometimes you can see them in the café, local bars or restaurants in the village at night! :)

Jan-12-11		lostemperor: Hi <YouRang> Im glad to do a prediction contest again. It was long past the last time. I certainly hope to do more this year although Linares 2011 is only 6 participants this year and perhaps more suitable for your prediction contest than in this forum. But there are other interesting tournaments if like last year!

Jan-12-11		wordfunph: prediction.. 1. Carlsen 2. Aronian 2. Anand 4. Nakamura 4. Kramnik 4. Ponomariov 7. Grischuk 7. Shirov 7. Nepomniachtchi 10. Vachier-Lagrave 10. Giri 12. Wang Hao 12. L'Ami 14. Smeets <lost> thanks..

Jan-12-11		SloVice: I'll give it a go: 1. Carlsen 2. Anand 2. Kramnik 4. Aronian 4. Shirov 6. Grischuk 6. Nakamura 6. Ponomariov 9. Wang Hao 10. Vachier-Lagrave 10. Smeets 12. Giri 12. Nepomniachtchi 14. L'Ami

Jan-12-11		cromat: and here my pred: 1. Carlsen 2. Anand 3. Grischuk 4. Aronian 5. Shirov 6. Ponomariov 7. Kramnik 8. Hao Wang 9. Nepomniachtchi 10. Nakamura 11. Giri 12. Vachier-Lagrave 13. Smeets 14. l'Ami
