Summary of Round 9

 

And with ONE ROUND to go, the stakes go up for everyone involved. The response: EIGHTEEN DOUBLE BULLSEYES. :applause:

 

Holding onto FIRST PLACE for the sixth consecutive round, zuckuss2003 valiantly beats back all comers. :cool:

 

Hot on his heels and only four points back, canickus, genrlzod and TheGeneral wonder whether it is too late to catch him. Each reflects on the misstep that may have cost them the chance for victory. hm

 

Hoping for one last stumble by the front four, toro waits in the wings, hope slipping away... :eek:

 

The Mathematically Eliminated Line is now at 60. If you are below 60, finishing with honor is all that you have left.

 

Good luck everyone! :acclaim:

 

It's a fight to the finish! :sumo:

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

Apparently I suck at GA.... :blahblah:

How does a book with a big crease get into the 8s? :blahblah:

That's what 7s are for. :blahblah:

Is it too late for a FDQ exit? :blahblah:

Thats what threw me off. Gut reaction was 8, but the more I looked at it, the more flaws I saw. Considering CGC only spends a few seconds on the books, that's what I'm doing from now on. No time to second guess.

The trick is defocus the image slightly before grading - it's in the CGC guidelines - and don't forget if it could be a production defect than it doesn't count.

Congrats to zuckuss 2003 for the high score so far. (worship)

 

Congrats to canickus for the most bullseyes so far. (thumbs u

 

Congrats to TheGeneral for never being more than two grades off. :o

 

Congrats to Toro for seemingly finishing in the top 5 in every grading contest for the last decade. :headbang:

 

And finally congrats to Chip Cataldo for a most impressive performance after missing a round. You have earned the right to complain about that tragic oversight. :applause:

:think: Chip may have tactically decided to "miss" the round. Think about it, if your really unsure of the grades, skip the round for 0 points as opposed to massive misgrading leading to -2.....well done Chip. Well done.

That strategy has certainly helped kav stay out of the negatives. :)

Trust me, there was nothing else involved in that situation other than the fact that I was a bonehead sitting on the couch watching TV and thinking I didn't have anything to do.

 

My mind used to be really sharp, but from age 35 until now it's been slowly slipping. You guys have no idea how seriously bad it's become and how my life has been hugely affected by it. It causes me tremendous stress on a daily basis. Seriously.

 

I do appreciate the kudos, though and I appreciate the guys who've been running this contest. It makes me feel good to do well at something.

 

Peace,

 

Chip

You know, I am pretty sure everyone was just kidding around about you missing a round.

 

However, on a more serious note, as someone who has had at least three known concussions and a couple other suspected ones, I too have been experiencing memory loss issues as I get older.

 

One technique I found that helps, a whiteboard. I put everyone up on the white board and as long as I see it, I remember it. If I don't put it on the white board, it's gone.

 

The trick is to remember to put stuff on the board :D

Oh, I know that. :) It takes a nation of ball-busters to hold me back.

That...is why I fail.
