With the race nearly complete, I have submitted grades for the final round.

I want to take this opportunity to thank @CGC Mike for another exciting contest.  These are the things that keep the boards fun and I cannot imagine how much work goes into putting one of these contests together. 

[Cerebus3000]

Grades submitted. This was the hardest round for me. I felt the pressure of doing well in the first three rounds. Some turbulence seems probable.

Just remember you're a great grader and the results will take care of themselves. (I also thought this round was the hardest)

Mike,

I sent PM a few hours ago with grades, and have not received a response.

Just want to make sure they were received.

Thanks

Yes, they were received.  I will record them along with the others, and send confirmation after the reveal.  

[CGC Mike]

I would like to thank everyone for participating, and making this another great contest.  Also, thanks for the kind words in the thread and via PM.  This round is now closed.  For many, it was much more difficult than the last one.  Anyhow, here is the reveal, followed by the graders notes.  I will post the results as soon as I get them from the team.  (hopefully tomorrow)

Yep my worst grading performance ever but wasn't off by more than 2 points on any book at least.

[Darwination]

7, a couple of bullseyes.

Missed some creases, my bad.  Might dicker with the 2.5 on the TH but I had it at 2.

Book that killed me was the Crossfire.  Had it all the way up at 9.6, blinded by the cheesecake.

We'll see how the results come in, but, maybe, just maybe, I scored the B minus I've been dreaming about

[Old Fashion PB and J]

And for the first time in quite some time 5/5 all bullseyes

Grades submitted and got a Three Stooges emoji back from Mike. That *has* to be good!

It's nice to see CGC finally acknowledge that foxing is indeed a defect.   

[newshane]

Proud that I got within half a point of the War Victory! That was a tough one. 

Lots of near bullseyes, but I didn't hammer the Tim Holt hard enough. 

Loved the challenges! My first contest. Won't be the last!
