Vau, ni slabo!

I'm collecting suggestions and information for the next Chess Prediction Game.
For sure it would be interesting to do Tata Steel Chess, as there are 2 groups, with probably less known players and their styles. But there are also more games than it was in Sochi, so there would also be more games to follow and predict.
Unfortunately I don't have time for such a big "event" because of upcoming exams, but I think I will be able to do Zurich Chess Challenge 2015, as it is a short and interesting event. I'm introducing some new things, too!
I'd like to see if there is an interest. ZCC is from Feb 14 to Feb 18, so stay tuned! :)

I think an automated system may be better for a larger event like that. I said I may be able to do something; I'm not sure when by though or even if I can do it at all!
Maybe a slightly different scoring system? 4 for the result, three for the number of moves, two for the opening and a bonus for all three in a game correct?

You just gave me even a simpler idea. But this "game" won't require opening and moves, but just the final standings.
5 for correct 1st place, 3 for 2nd and 2pts for correctly guessed 3rd place. If you have for example 2nd and 3rd place swapped, you get 1pt for correctly guessed podium player (in this case 2x 1pt). Then we just have a bonus - 3pts if you correctly guess who scored the most wins.
And this could go on through the whole year. 13 possible points per event would be a decent number.

+ we have quite a lot of events:
