Time to get a list of players who will be playing.

 

Also need a person(Josh :wishluck:) to help with a spreadsheet in keeping score.

 

 

There will be 20 rounds. 48 hours between rounds, and person with the most points wins after 20 rounds.

 

Feel free to donate prizes in this thread if you wish. Deadline for signing up is the 14th and we will begin on the 15th of December.

 

Points are as follows:

 

5 - correct grade

 

3 - 1 grade off

 

1 - 2 grades off

 

-1 - 3 grades off.

 

-2 - 4 grades off

 

Are grades in half-point increments? For example, if a book is a 6.5, and you guess 7.0, are you one grade off the mark?

Yes. (thumbs u

 

Except when you get above 9.0, increments are 9.2, 9.4, 9.6, 9.8...... 9.9 and 10.0. Each one of those increments is considered a full grade.

 

 

So if you guessed 9.2 and the book was a 9.8, you'd be three grades off and receive a -1 score.

Now about that points per grade system... :whatev:

 

And the 48 hours between rounds... meh

 

And only 20 rounds? :screwy:

lol I'm sure we'll see some of this in any event. (Although it would be a pleasant surprise if folks just let Nik run HIS contest as he sees fit......... :sumo:)

 

however, with a certain gentleman suspended, we may not see quite as much.............. hm
