2015 March Madness Comic Grading Tournament - Seeding Round

[BlowUpTheMoon]

Welcome to the Start of the 2015 March Madness Comic Grading Tournament.

 

There are plenty of returning veteran teams so it should be a fun and competitive tournament. I'll have the seeding scans posted within 24 hours. If there are questions, maybe some of the veteran teams can answer them.

 

To allow more teams to play, this year will have two brackets (East and West) with 64 teams each. The winner of each bracket will compete against each other to determine the overall winner.

 

All books were pressed. No books were cleaned or humidified.

 

This round is to establish a won-loss record for each team so the bracket pairings can be set. Future head to head single elimination rounds will involve grading only four books. The scans will be posted, and the scoring and rules are listed below.

 

Good luck to all....

 

_________________________________________________________________________________

The rules for this round are as follows:

 

1. Do not talk about the books in this thread or any other thread. Do not talk to your wife about these books. Do not talk to your dentist about these books. Do not talk to your dog about these books.

 

2. PM me all grades in the order they are listed and write your username. Associate the book with the grade. No grade changes are allowed after submitting your grades. Submit all nine grades at the same time.

 

3. Grades are due by 10pm (EST) Monday, March 9th.

 

4. You may PM me or ask questions in the thread. Answers will be posted in the thread so everyone has the same info.

 

5. Each player’s won-loss record will be determined as follows:

 

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.

 

Shin's explanation:

 

 

If you are spot on, you will get THREE WINS

If you are within and including .5, you will get TWO WINS

 

If you are .6 to 1.0 OFF, you will get ONE LOSS

If you are over 1.0 OFF, you will get TWO LOSSES

 

People with THREE BULLSEYES get a PLUS ONE WIN

People with FOUR BULLSEYES get a PLUS THREE WINS

All books were pressed. No books were cleaned or humidified.

One point of clarification. I assume the books were pressed after these scans.

 

EDIT: And are we supposed to start the PM with you or wait for you to start a PM with us?

Things look good on my end. Is anyone else getting this?

[DavidTheDavid]

Swamp Thing 37 misnumbered as 32 on large scans post.

 

And...I think I may be a round 1 loser this time!

Thanks for the heads up. I fixed it.

Weird, when I click the other large scans, they are giant. This one is the same size as the scans under the small scans tag.
