I infortunately cannot make people send in their grades, but I did drop 2 from the list who have not submitted a grade for the first 4 rounds. I also feel that after 20 rounds, if you miss submitting 5 grades or more, you should also be removed from the list of players, it would only be fair to all who are playing (shrug)

Also, if you no longer wish to participate, just let me know and I will remove you from the list.

 

(In my best Sgt. Fury impersonation:)

Nik...it's apparently within the rules to abstain from voting on any given book (presumably one you're having trouble pegging...) Is there a maximum number of abstentions, or said the other way, a minmum number of entries to qualify in the final standings?

 

Seems like there should be... (shrug)

 

Sounds like someone's asking for a rule change... :baiting:

So someone could send you a PM stating that they "pass" and take 0 points?

If someone is up by 5 at the last round they could win by "passing" and not taking the risk of getting a -1 or -2.

This is why I thought not sending a grade in should get the -2 max penality.

Maybe you should make that the rule for the last round or two.

 

 

Not bellyaching... just some stuff to ponder. hm

 

You are doing a great job Nik. :foryou:

I have considered that scenario also and I hate doing it but will be forced to remove a player from the contest once he has missed 5 rounds.

 

I hope it does not come to that as I would like to see everyone who signed up continue playing.

Just my 2c...

 

I like the miss getting the -2.

 

To even things out for those that miss a round, a future contest could also toss out the highest and lowest scores as well... hm

 

Makes a lot of sense that a miss would get the lowest possible score available.
