Round 1 Results are UP! Sorry.. but I have a deadline tonight actually so I'll circle back later and fix some of tiny graphical errors I noticed. (Hopefully not scoring errors.)

2019 Green Eggs Grading Contest Round 01 - Commentary Welcome to the Final Green Eggs Grading Contest and what will probably be the EASIEST round you will ever face. Congrats to the 36 of you who scored Double Bullseyes. If you did not do well this round, you have 9 more rounds to make up ground. It only gets harder from here. Good luck! ROUND 2 AWAITS!

ROUND ONE IS NOW CLOSED.

104 sets of Grades are in... but some are missing. Last Call. Paging the following people who signed up: @THE_BEYONDER @Thanos88 @byosti @Graveheart @Every Day A Story @Shawnismaximus @Cocomonkey @piper @JWKyle @theCapraAegagrus

Fortunately, the difference between First Place and LAST PLACE is 10 points. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

@thirdgreenham will start a group PM for you. Good Luck

In case you are new to this contest, this thread shows the Final Round 10 of last year's contest. The images still seem to be there The charts are what you can expect to see after each Round.

With over 75 entries recorded, if you have NOT scored Double Bullseyes this round, you are already out of the TOP TWENTY-FIVE.

But time grows short...

Traditionally, it’s been around 7pm Pacific time....but this round was posted suddenly at 11:57 am yesterday.... So technically, it ends Sunday at 11:57am. We’ll discuss it and maybe allow extra time for last minute entrants. Each time a new entrant shows up, I need to modify my spreadsheet.

Grading Scale 10.0 9.9 9.8 9.6 9.4 9.2 9.0 8.5 8.0 7.5 7.0 6.5 6.0 5.5 5.0 4.5 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.8 1.5 1.0 0.5 SCORING: 5 points for a direct hit, 3 points for 1 grade off, 1 point for 2 grades off and -1 point for 3 grades off. EXAMPLE: The difference between 9.8 and 9.6 is ONE GRADE OFF (3 points). The difference between 9.8 and 9.4 becomes TWO GRADES OFF (1 point).

I had actually “retired” last year but after hearing that this grading contest was the end of Andy’s run, I had to come back to help him finish... Good Luck Everyone!

2013, 2015, 2017 winner @toro has entered the fray... Be afraid. Be VERY afraid... for it is 2019.

...And so the final call goes out. The Summoning has begun. Who will challenge @Azkaban for this final trophy? Last Year's Winner:

Unfortunately, we let the VirtualComicCon.info domain lapse/die and all the links to it are now gone.

Once more into the breach to complete Andy's run.

Blowupthemoon could also use some help with running this if someone...

Yep. Last year was my final year. Thirdgreenham could use some help doing this probably if someone would like to step up. Good Luck Everyone.

Here's an idea: Take one aisle or section and PRE-FILL it with COMIC RACK SHELVES. Then rent those booths out for a little bit more money... or save them for people without racks or for new collectors who just want to sell their stuff but don't have or want to build their own racks. This would A) be like a PRE-FURNISHED Booth B) Maybe be in a preferential location C) Draw in new blood/collections. Mark each section clearly (start and end) with blue painters tape.
