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!

  lostemperor: <Penguincw> showed he can also win another ranker again than his favorite Pair Bettings!! Still he also took that ranker in the process! Together with a second place in the Absolute ranker.

<Golden Executive> won the Absolute Ranker!!

<Aurora> (absolute ranker), <Scout118> (square ranker), <alfamikewhiskey> (pair bettings) took second places and bronze for <Diadamas>!

  Penguincw: Woo, I actually won a Ranker other than Betting Ranker. To be honest, I didn't think I could do it.

Now, I do wish I knew where I stand overall.

But hey, congrats to the other medalists, thank you so much <lostemperor> for finishing this tournament. Hope to see you next time, which may be Biel (Jul-Aug), Sinquefield (Aug) or Norway (Sep).

Apr-29-21  WinKing: Great show <lostemperor> as always!

Congrats to all the medal winners!

I have updated the Gold medal count in my forum. Just because I didn't play in this tournament doesn't mean I'm slackin' in my duties. ;)

Hope to see you all at the next event.

  OhioChessFan: ***Moves Prediction Contest Is Back!!!***

A message from The Legendary <chessmoron> ===========

Hey <friends> What better way to have a prediction contest than a <World Championship>. Get you prediction hat on, and let's PREDICT!

The drawing of colors will be available on Nov 24th (Opening Ceremony). All predictions must be posted on User: OhioChessFan before NOV 26th, 2021 at 7:30AM Eastern time.

Since there's 14 games total, predict as many games as you think the winner will need to score 7.5 points, the number needed to win the match. Then predict the number of moves each game you think will be played.

Be warned, if a game is not played and you predicted a game result, you will lose 3 points. ie. If game 14 is not played and you predict a game 14, you lose 3 points."

Posting format:

G1: Nepomniachtchi-Carlsen (1-0, 1/2, or 0-1) (# of moves played)

G2: Carlsen-Nepomniachtchi (1-0, 1/2, or 0-1) (# of moves played)

3. Only Moves+Bonus Ranker (See OhioChessFan chessforum 's profile on what that is about) will be used to medal.

4. I will post results after game 4, game 8, game 12, and game 14.
