2014 March Madness Comic Grading Tournament - Round of 32

[BlowUpTheMoon]

Welcome March Madness Grading Tournament - Round of 32

 

A lot of high scores, maybe the books were too easy.

 

Many close contests. Seeing totals in the 70s lose is never easy.

 

Congrats to toro for a bitchin' 88 points and to Tnerb for advancing with 32 points.

_______________________________________________

Rules for this and future rounds:

 

1. Four books will be posted. PM me all grades in the order they are listed. Use the template I provided to send the grades

 

2. Submit your grades in standard CGC recognized increments.

 

3. Due date for grades for this round is Tuesday, April 29th at 10:00p (EST) or when the last team submits its grades. All grade submissions are final.

 

4. No conditional grades will be accepted. Please ask questions to seek clarification before submitting grades.

 

5. The following is a list of things I will always disclose when posting the scans.

A. Any defects not clearly visible. (ie. NCB creases)

B. Moisture Stains not apparent on the scan.

C. Damage to a book which was not present at the time of grading.

D. Any damage/ scratches on the CGC case which may appear as flaws on the book.

 

6. Your score will be tallied based on the sum of the points awarded for the grades assigned each book based on the chart below:

 

Spot on= 20 points

.2 or closer = 18 points

.5 or closer= 15 points

.7 or closer= 10 points

1 or closer = 7 points.

1.2 or closer= 5 points.

1.5 or closer= 2 points

2 or closer = 0 points

Over 2 grades off= Technical Foul -5 points

 

 

Bonus (cumulative):

Blowie, what's the significance of the Red arrows? Thanks!

Nothing to see here

Blowie, what's the significance of the Red arrows? Thanks!

 

I updated the description. The red arrows point to spine splits. The spine splits are more visible in the large scans.

He's probably feeling cocky and is ripe for an upset.
