Out of the office tonight...Results will be up late tonight unfortunately. Final guesses will also be recorded by time stamp...so get your grades in on time! (sorry)

*Ouch*

Don't sweat it... PM away. The END is in sight!

Mathematically Eliminated Line... There are TWO ROUNDS LEFT and 20 possible points The LEADER can lose a maximum of -4 points if they somehow whiff on all FOUR books. So 60 - 4 = 56 - 20 = 36. So anyone who has 36 points can theoretically TIE the Leader. Anyone below is playing for SECOND PLACE.

Yes... It should be 36 points.

I was just going to mention that... ( @comicwiz too.)

Round 8 Results are up. Congrats to the Thirteen Double Bullseyes...

What that means is that you can score POSITIVE POINTS... and still drop as much as 8 SPOTS.

82 Guesses are in.... 12 Double Bullseyes have been awarded

Think about this before you start a grading contest.... Say there's 125 entrants and two moderators. One year, we had something like five moderators which actually probably pushed some people off the boards due to board fatigue... Each round, you'll have to read a minimum of 125 private messages and possibly 250 private messages with two moderators. This is kind of why I'm waiting a bit before recording grades so that hopefully Thirdgreenham can respond before I record the grade. If I record the grade BEFORE he responds, then I have to open that Group PM thread again after he responds and check to see if I've entered those guesses yet. Repeat this as many times as necessary. (Older Grading Contests sometimes ran up to 20 Rounds. )

Round 7 Results are up...
