[BlowUpTheMoon]

Welcome March Madness Grading Tournament - Round of 16

 

Many close contests. Seeing totals in the 70s lose is never easy. Lots of high scores. Reminder to self: make the books tougher.

 

Congrats to boboset , Aces, universal soldier and toro for a bitchin' 85 points. ConanAficionado somehow snuck in with 47 points while thirdgreenham only really need to grade one book to advance..

 

_______________________________________________

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 Friday, May 2nd 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):

2 books spot on= 5 points

When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya sent in your grades, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya sent in your grades, Jack?" "Yessir, the grades are in the PM."

[trmoore54]

Northeast 67-11 (one team over 20 wins) & Southeast 81-6 (three teams with 20+ wins)

 

Northwest 76-7 (one team over 20 wins) & Northeast 81-8 ( one 20 win team and one 30+ wins)

 

Those are some pretty serious records overall 304-32 so almost a 90% win percentage.

 

Should be a good showdown

 

 

Some serious gradin'...(or should I say ability to ascertain how CGC graded ) ...goin' on! Mad skills either way...

[BlowUpTheMoon]

With zero grades, I can report that....

 

[BlowUpTheMoon]

I received more grades from more people not playing the grades than I did from actual participants.
