2019 Green Eggs Grading Contest Round 08 - Commentary

Only FOUR managed to secure Double Bullseyes on what is a rapidly dwindling number of rounds left. Congrats to @Avi, @WPPJames, @AlexH, and @theCapraAegagrus for being the few to achieve this select feat. :applause:

@ElrodAllWrong increases his lead and his stranglehold on First Place. Can no one wrest it from his grasp? Is there no one to challenge him at this late hour?

Three are in Second Place. @Azkaban, @KryptoMayor, and @Ron C. have but TWO Rounds left to chase the front runner down. :bump:

The Mathematically Eliminated Line has destroyed all below 42. Only 3 remain to legitimately challenge for the throne.

Shoot your shot. This is it. It's the FINAL TWO ROUNDS. THERE ARE NO OTHERS. :sumo:

ROUND NINE STARTS NOW! :acclaim:

Had hoped to move up a bit more this round with the double. But with both books being so low end there really wasn't a lot of range for people to be off for more than a grade or two.
