Popular Post zzutak Posted August 2, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) According to Mike's grade distribution table, 108 players completed Round 3 (down from 128 at sign-up, 121 in Round 1, and 114 in Round 2). Here are the key measures of central tendency for this round (Mean = the average grade; Median = the middle grade in a numerically rank-ordered list; Mode = the most common grade): Book CGC Grade Distribution Statistics # Grade Mean Median Mode 11 7.0 6.1 6.0 6.0/6.5 12 4.0 4.2 4.0 4.0 13 6.0 5.6 5.5 6.0 14 7.0 6.4 6.5 6.5 15 8.5 7.8 8.0 8.0 The Board scored 128 bulls-eyes in Round 3 (24% of all grades submitted, compared to 23% in Round 1 and 17% in Round 2). Here are a few other notable observations based on the data reported above: Book #11 (Motion Picture Comics #110): The most challenging book for the Board as a whole, with only 14% of the contestants at the same grade as CGC and only 43% within one grade increment of CGC. Collectively, the Board was nearly two grade increments more critical than CGC (6.1 vs 7.0). Book #12 (War Fury #1): The easiest book for the Board as a whole, with 36% of the contestants at the same grade as CGC and 81% within one grade increment of CGC. Collectively, the Board was about one-half grade increment more lenient than CGC (4.2 vs 4.0). Book #13 (House Of Secrets #4): The second-easiest book for the Board as a whole, with 29% of the contestants at the same grade as CGC and 66% within one grade increment of CGC. Collectively, the Board was almost one grade increment more critical than CGC (5.6 vs 6.0). Book #14 (Strange Tales #114): An average difficulty book for the Board as a whole, with 24% of the contestants at the same grade as CGC and 57% within one grade increment of CGC. Collectively, the Board was slightly more than one grade increment more critical than CGC (6.4 vs 7.0). Book #15 (Fantastic Four Annual #6): Another extremely challenging book for the Board as a whole, with only 19% of the contestants at the same grade as CGC and only 54% within one grade increment of CGC. Collectively, the Board was about one and one-half grade increments more critical than CGC (7.8 vs 8.5). Except for Book #12 (a "gimme" 4.0/4.5), the Board as a whole was always more critical than CGC. Did we suddenly forget how to grade according to CGC, or were we blessed with a set of books that were routed through an exceptionally soft CGC grader? Time to go big or go home!

Cman429 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Can’t believe there’s still someone in single digits. Looks like I moved from low middle to upper middle so I’ll take it. Subtracting 3 points from my total due to last rounds shenanigans, I’m actually pretty pleased with my showing thus far. jcjames 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
