Hello, my friends! :hi:

 

Welcome to the 4th annual CGC Green Eggs Grading Contest. :whee:

 

1.) You will see 2 books per round, for 10 rounds.

 

2.) There will be a 48 hour time limit between rounds. (I will likely change this to a set finishing time, ie. rounds end at 10:00 PM EST, going forward.) Look at the books; figure out the grades and PM sckao and I your answers via the group PM that I have created for us. This will be the same PM thread you will use to submit all future grades. Please do not create a new PM for each grade submission. If you have not received a PM from me, and have signed up, please let me know right away.

 

3.) No changing of grades will be allowed once submitted. Post only single, numerical grade for each book. If you post more than one grade (e.g. 8.5/9.0) then your submission for that round will be void. No excuses. As there will be 2 books per round, make it clear which grade is for which book. For example, say ASM #1 4.5 and on the next line say FF #12 8.0. Please don't screw this up. 2c

 

4.) The page quality and any noticeable defects you can not see on the book from the scan will be given for each round. Do not PM with questions. Assume that all of the books have been pressed. The scans that you are viewing will be of the book already in its CGC case.

 

5.) Points awarded will be as follows; 5 points for a direct hit, 3 points for 1 grade off, 1 point for 2 grades off and -1 point for 3 grades off. If you are 4 grades off or more, I'm going to hit the "notify moderator" button.

 

6.) Prizes will be awarded to a certain number of players. This will be dependent on the number of prize donations that we receive. Feel free to donate a book, if you would like. (thumbs u

 

The PRIZE THREAD is located in Comics General.

 

Also,a booby prize will be given for last place. Last place is defined as the person who has participated in all the rounds and has the lowest score. You can not sign up, do nothing and win the booby prize.

 

7.) As always, many thanks to sckao who has agreed to help me with the score keeping and all the other fun stuff that comes with these contests. (worship)

Will we get the CGC grades at the end of the round or do we have to wait until the end of the contest???

 

Also, will there be a leaderboard at some point during the during the contest?

 

At the end of every round, I will show everyone the books in their CGC cases, and you'll be able to see the grades.

 

Shortly after I reveal the grades, sckao (Shin) will post the leaderboard, among many other spreadsheets, showcasing many different statistics of the contest. This is the best part, IMO.

 

You'll see. (thumbs u
