:acclaim:7th Annual March Madness CGC Grading Tournament :acclaim:

 

This will be the Seventh Annual Tournament which is becoming a great international tradition. Once again, congrats to last year's winner - Comicdey, the first to win twice in a row.

 

This year’s tournament will feature a wide range of books varying in grades and eras from the early 1940’s to modern. Please post in this thread if you are interested in playing; everyone is welcome. The format is the same as the National College Basketball Tournament. This is how it will work in a nutshell: There will be a seeding round where books will be posted for grading, and a won loss record will be determined based on how successful each player is at grading the books. After determining each player’s won loss record, players will be paired in brackets in a single elimination tournament. Pairings will be based on a convoluted, totally irrational combination of geographic location and won loss record (Just like the real thing!).

 

Because I'm a slacker, expect the contest to start in mid-March.

 

Oh yeah, can’t forget the important stuff: A prize list will be developed during the tournament. Donations are welcome! There were some great and generous donations last year! The top teams will pick from the list at the conclusion of the tournament.

 

To see how the format works, here's last years seeding round. 6th Annual March Madness CGC Grading Tournament- Seeding Round

 

Like last year, I'll be posting very large scans. Unlike last year, this year the scans will be of the raw books. :D

I don't win in this type of format. Although I have gotten a little better.

 

Thanks for putting this together.
