Ok, below are the pairings. I have a new appreciation for the guys that put this together for reals. :insane:

 

My quick color commentating: The clear favorite is Oakman with a strong 13-3 record, all his grades where close and he hit 3 spot on- very solid.

 

The highest probability for a cinderella story, I would have to say is Marvelcollector. This tournament rewards the spot on grades and he was one of only 3 teams to hit four. Unfortunately, he has to play through a playin game in the Southeast because when he wasn't on, he was way off.

 

Other players to watch: skao and Comicdonna, who were 11-5 and the only ones to hit 5 spot on. Capfreek and Solitaireone at 12-5 and three spot on grades are also strong.

 

Who knows, maybe a few players out there were playing it safe and will come up big in the tourney. Good Luck to All. (thumbs u

SolitaireOne's reward for finishing #1 in the NW....

 

Pirate! :tonofbricks:

 

Wow - the NW and NE are LOADED with guys who finished in the top 30 in the big (145 boardees started) grading contest from earlier this year. SW and SE - not so much...... :devil:

lol I wonder if that has to do with the longer winters. We're all pasty and mole-like, from keeping indoors and staring at scans all winter . . .

WHEW! Thanx guys what should we call ourselves? :headbang:

How about The "West Coast Comic Syndicate" ?

WCCS for short. It sounds a little silly, but it's the best I could come up with.

Can you belive I wasted my 1,000th post on this? lol

:roflmao: :news:"West coast comic syndicate" sounds good I guess we could put it to a vote ALL IN FAVOR! :headbang:

Nah. That sounds like WDCS i.e. Walt Disney's Comics & Stories.

Also, throughout the tournament, any questions about the books you are grading, ie: in reference scanning anomalies or clarifications, should be posted in this thread and I will respond so everyone has the same information. (thumbs u
