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-22-11		lostemperor: Nakamura leading just over halfway the tournament!! Probably not many expected that except perhaps <rogge> and <moronovich> who predicted him shared 2-3 in the Final Standings.. Q: Nakamura is the first Asian-American leading in Wijk aan Zee. How many US players have won this tournament in the 72 years history?

Jan-23-11		lostemperor: Uhm, what I meant to say was that Nakamura is the first "Asian-American" for a long time to lead in this tournament (now the 72nd edition) not the first, as you all perhaps already know by now? :) Answer will be posted on the restday.

Jan-24-11		lostemperor: The US winners of this annual tournament were Walter Shawn Browne (1974 and 1980) and Yasser Seirawan (1980). Seirawan born in Syria was not even a Grand Master when he won the tournament at the age of 19! The Soviets were not present both in 1974 (for different reasons) and in 1980 because of Korchnoi boycot. But still a great performance finshing ahead of Korchnoi and Timman who were the top favourites in 1980 Here the interesting standings of 1980 (from a 60th anniversary book): Player, rating, score 1-2 Seirawan 2510 10 1-2 Browne 2540 10 3.
