All of the overtime grades have been received. Here's who is moving on:

All PMs have been replied to.

FastBallSpecial will be getting his grade in later tonight.

Just waiting on FastBallSpecial to submit his overtime grade.

So the staple was missing, or removed, or the top of the staple was removed...? It's the first time I have ever seen that in graders' notes.

I think we're to grade the outer cover only sckao and I have been doing this for a number of years. The only change we've made to the Tournament was to allow for a NG book to be used. Over the years, I've probably posted about 20-30 double covers (and some triple/quadruple covers) in the Tournament. Nothing has changed. it would be impossible to grade the inner cover. The inner cover and the pages have nothing to do with the grade of the outer cover. Grade the outer cover.

No brackets yet as there are overtime games in each bracket.

Half of the overtime grades are in. Overtime grades are due by 3/14 10p EST.

The Tournament is down to 32 contestants.

The white block hides the inner cover grade and the serial number.

Grade only shows on the GI. I don't understand the question.

Round of 32 has started here: https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/topic/430199-2018-annual-march-madness-cgc-grading-tournament-round-of-32/
