I have a stinging loss to Black Adam to avenge. I should change my profile pic to Shazam for the duration of the grading contest! I think I am going to go through last years prize thread and tag a lot of people that aren't in this years Tournament.

@Cocomonkey PM sent. Sorry I missed ya.

That's the spirit!

How many are in this round? Don't know how many PMs I sent out. We usually get a bunch of entries after the seeding books are posted.

#6 to submit grades.

Four contestants have submitted grades so far.

Grades are due Tuesday March 10. My mistake.

Small Scans:

Welcome to the 2020 March Madness Comic Grading Tournament There are plenty of returning veteran teams so it should be a fun and competitive tournament. I'll have the seeding scans posted within 24 hours. If there are questions, maybe some of the veteran teams can answer them. To allow more teams to play, this year will have two brackets (East and West) with 64 teams each. The winner of each bracket will compete against each other to determine the overall winner. All books were pressed. This round is to establish a won-loss record for each team so the bracket pairings can be set. Future head to head single elimination rounds will involve grading only four books. The scans will be posted, and the scoring and rules are listed below. Good luck to all.... _________________________________________________________________________________ The rules for this round are as follows: 1. Do not talk about the books in this thread or any other thread. Do not talk to your wife about these books. Do not talk to your co-workers about these books. Do not talk to your dog about these books. 2. I will send all contestants a PM. Use that PM throughout the Tournament. PM me all grades in the order, which will usually be alphabetically, they are listed. Associate the book with the grade. No grade changes are allowed after submitting your grades.
