March Madness Grading Tournament- Seeding Round.

Sounds like B is correct according to veteran player JazzMan. The 0.5 does not scale down to 0.2 above 9.0, so a 9.0 guess on a 9.4 still gets you +2 wins because you are only 0.4 off. (shrug)

 

Sweet... I think that moves me to a 19-5 record then. :banana:

I believe it's Winning Percentage. Take your Wins and divide it by the total number of games.

 

So 20-3 is .870

A person going 21-4 would be only .840

 

You would have to go 27-4 to get .871

I think I might have went 20-3? :shrug:

 

How do scores compare? Is it the sum (e.g. 20-3=17), and then a tiebreaker based on, what, the number of wins?

That's an interesting question... hm

I'm not even sure I AM 20-3 :shrug:

This is how I got my score

Spot on= 3 wins

Within .5= 2 wins

Not within .5 = 1 loss

Not within 1 = 2 losses

Bonus= The third spot on grade will be granted 1 bonus win, fourth= 2 bonus wins, fifth through tenth= 3 bonus wins.

------------------------------------

final outcome

9.4 Defenders #81 White

8.5 Fantastic Four #66 White

9.0 Giant- Size Creatures #1 OW-W

8.5 Iron Man #2 OW

9.4 Iron Man #69 OW

7.5 Marvel Premiere #23 OW-W

7.0 Tales of Suspense #66 OW-W

9.0 Tales of Suspense #99 Cr-OW

8.5 Thor #165 OW-W

9.4 Thor #166 OW-W

 

my guesses

Defenders #81 White - 9.6 (.2 diff = 2 wins)

Fantastic Four #66 White - 9.2 ( .7 difference = 1 loss)

Giant- Size Creatures #1 OW-W - 9.2 (.2 diff = 2 wins)

Iron Man #2 OW - 8.5 (BULLSEYE 3 wins)

Iron Man #69 OW - 9.4 (BULLSEYE = 3 wins)

Marvel Premiere #23 OW-W - 9.0 (1.5 diff = 2 losses)

Tales of Suspense #66 OW-W - 7.5 (.5 diff = 2 wins)

Tales of Suspense #99 Cr-OW - 9.2 (.2 diff + 2 wins)

Thor #165 OW-W - 9.0 (.5 diff = 2 wins)

Thor #166 OW-W 9.4 BULLSEYE = 4 wins ( 3 wins PLUS +1 Bonus win for 3rd BULLSEYE)

 

Total 20 wins 3 losses?
