March Madness Grading Tournament- Seeding Round

337 posts in this topic

:news::acclaim:Welcome to the Start of the March Madness Comic Grading Tournament. :acclaim::news:

 

There are plenty of returning veteran teams so it should be a fun and competitive tournament.

 

This round is to establish a won-loss record for each team so the bracket pairings can be set, so it is a bit different than future head to head games. I will post twelve books and each player will grade them. The scans will be posted tonight, and the scoring and rules are listed below. (Note the special bonus this year to pick the trimmed book). In future rounds, each player will only grade 4 books per game.

 

1. PM me all grades in the order they are listed and write your username and location. Associate the book with the grade. No grade changes are allowed after submitting your grades. Submit all twelve grades at the same time. Below is a list you can copy and paste into your PM.

:news::acclaim:Welcome to the Start of the March Madness Comic Grading Tournament. :acclaim::news:

Thanks for doing this. Looks like fun! :applause:

 

Tom runs a GREAT grading contest! This is a twist on the usual, ala Nik's Legendary Annual Contests, whereby players compete from one book to the next, with an overall total...

 

This is head to head competition, with each round starting anew...so in a given round you can suck, but if your opponent sucks greater, you move on...equally, you can have a crusher round and thoroughly destroy your opponent by a bezillion points, but it doesn't matter as points do not accumulate...

 

Can't wait! :headbang:
