B. Moisture Stains not apparent on the scan.

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

.7 or closer= 10 points

1 or closer = 7 points.

1.2 or closer= 5 points.

1.5 or closer= 2 points

Due tonight? I expect it's a cut and paste from the Round of 16 and needs to be updated. But if not, it might be impossible for me.

 

I'm in a meeting all day and then out for the evening immediately thereafter.

 

Thx BUTM!

Bad cut and paste. Let me fix that.

Can I just have the ST 180 if it's the grade and page quality I'm looking for?

Great job Blowup. Running a great contest.

 

I see some perennial teams that always seem to make deep, deep runs and a few new faces. Good luck guys.
