New scoring system being used in the "Battle of GMs" reported here and here.

"A win is worth 2.0 points, a draw 1.0 and a loss 0. If a stalemate occurs, the player who stalemates his opponent gets 1.5 points while the stalemated player receives 0.5 point."

Shaun Press comments on chessexpress. "the player forcing the stalemate (ie the player who played the last move) gets 1.5 points.".
