I have realized after spending a lot of time making and grading fantasy contests that it would be much appreciated if someone could help with the grading part, which is a little tedious. The way to do this is just to assign a score to the answer of each question. The extra questions are 10 points for a correct answer and zero for an incorrect one. In the actual contest where you pick who will get what spot, the place you pick for the player corresponds with their score, so if Magnus Carlsen gets 5/9 and you pick him for 1st place, you get 50 points, because the score for the player in first place will be multiplied by ten. Here's another example:

Max's Picks

Magnus Carlsen for 1st place, Carlsen scores 5/9, 1st is x10 so Max gets 50 points.

Fabiano Caruana for 2nd place, Caruana scores 6/9, 2nd is x9 so Max gets 54 points.

Maxime Vachier-Lagrave for 3rd place, Vachier-Lagrave scores 3/9, 3rd is x8 so Max gets 24 points.

Ding Liren for 4th place, Ding scores 5/9, 4th is x7 so Max gets 35 points.

Obviously this will continue until we get to 10th place (x1). If you have any questions, let me know.
