5th Annual March Madness CGC Grading Tournament- Seeding Round

[SolitaireOne]

I THINK the term "Within" means WITHIN but INCLUDING .5

 

So if you are .5 off exactly, I think you get 2 wins. Otherwise, a guess of 8.0 on an 8.5 book would get you one loss even though you missed it by only 1 grade.

I agree w/ this logic...

 

[JazzMan]

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.

 

This is the way I interpret this, correct me if I am wrong.

 

Bullseye = 3 wins

0.1 to 0.5 off = 2 wins

0.6 to 1.0 off = 1 loss

1.1 off and beyond = 2 losses

[etanick]

I believe I am 11-8

 

the 0.5 off killed me since I had a few that were right on 0.5.

 

The WORDING is a little weird.

The point system should become clear when Nostalgic Attic posts the results.

Losses 8

My wording is less clear than yours ...I'll adopt yours in the future.

[BlowUpTheMoon]

Better just sit back and let him tell me what my score it now...!

 

 

I agree with this logic.

[burntboy]

Having never participated in this format of March Madness before (made the finals back in the Inaugural Tourney run by Nik) i was (maybe still am) confused, but think I posted a 12-6 record which hopefully keeps me out of the "Play-in" game.

 

Find it pretty amazing that the final number of players miraculously turned out to be 65 (just like last years NCAA tourney).

[etanick]

getting in the tournament is all that matters...the seeding is not as important. Last year, I had to play in to get to the 64 and loss out on double over time I think.

[BlowUpTheMoon]

I like a contest where, after the seeding round, half of the contestants will be gone after the first real round.

Forgot all about this. Fun times ahead.

Am mulling the potential benefits of intentionally failing the seeding round.

I've been waiting a year to be able to mess with your avatar again.

Oh yeah baby!

 

Bring it on.

 

EDIT: So I DID play last year, and I simply didn't make it past the play-in round? Wow, is my memory that bad???

[etanick]

yup both you and I had to play in and we both loss

[BorderlineHoarder]

Whew...won't have to survive a grueling play-in this year! My team just doesn't show up for the Hulk books. Otherwise, not bad.

 

 

[BlowUpTheMoon]

It was triple overtime game. Link.

[Columbia Comics]
