March Madness Grading Tournament- Seeding Round

337 posts in this topic

I'm kind of a data nut, so for the folks earlier discussing just giving everything the same grade.

All 9.4 = 13-3 Oddly all 9.2 and all 9.0 yielded the same score 11-3, that's not catching the trim. So we know my crappy 9-5 was honest, but . .

 

31. Jessebrook1 13- 3

32. Mio 13- 3

33. JohnT 13- 3

34. Thedanimal 13- 3

35. KRYPTOSPIDEY 13- 3

36. LovinTheSurfer 13- 3

37. AlexH 13- 3

 

hm

 

 

:grin:

9.0 all the way... and got the trim so 13-3.. figured id save the real grading skills for the actual tourney :baiting:

 

DQ . . . or gone after the first round :gossip::baiting:

:signfunny:

DQ ? for what...being smart enough to figure out that 9.0 would cover most of the grades for most of the books....and knowing which one was trimmed?..... had my grades in way before we started talking about it on the thread,... actually think i even said 9.4 would have been the smarter choice.... :slapfight:

Did alot better then the last contest I entered for grading :) Knowing a book was trimmed though threw me for a loop since didn't know which one so when I made my guess I downgraded the grade on that book in which I picked the wrong one lol.

 

Oh well lots of fun.

I just graded those for fun as well. A couple were tricky. If I have the book in person it's just 10X easier...but my eyes play tricks on me with scans.

 

By the way, I want that X-men 55!!! Very nice!

 

I'd wager that it's available for purchase . . . :whistle: AFTER the round! lol

Grading Addendum: Questions have been posed regarding 'staining' on the books. Whatever 'stains' you may be identifying are not water stains. ???

 

Clear as mud? (:

 

If anyone who has already submitted grades wishes to modify their grades, they may do so by sending a new PM. Edited PM's are not recorded.
