If you guess 8.5 and a book is a 9.2, then that is a .7 difference.....so it counts as a loss. :cry:

i undrestand that,but a 9.0 guess covers 8.5 on the low side,and what on the high side? 9.4 is within .5.. so is 9.2.. that is my question.

I think it's in grade increment, such as you guess 9.0 on a 9.4 book you missed. Guess a 9.2 on a 9.4 book you score.

..yea,that makes the most sense,and what i figured, but i just want to know for sure,since its not clear,and so there is no misunderstanding in the later rounds,as .5 and .2 are not the same.

I wonder if anyone has guessed correct on which book was trimmed?

 

I think that many have . . . :whistle:

 

I said all 12 books were trimmed so I know I got it right... :insane::devil:

 

This is a grading contest??!? doh!

 

I thought it was a bidding contest.

 

I was waiting til the last second to submit snipe bids on all 12 books and destroy you all.

 

Guess I'll have to rethink my strategy. :sorry:

Within .5 is a win. So, if you guess 9.0 and a book is a 9.4, the difference is .4. Therefore it is a win. :acclaim:

 

Not within .5 is a loss. So if you guess 9.0 and the book is a 9.6, the difference is .6, therefore it would count as a loss. :cry:

 

The scoring in the head to head competition will be different. I'll go over that next round.

And if you guess 9.4 on everything, you get a win on any book that grades between 9.0 to 9.8. hm

But if you guess 9.0 on every book you get a hit on every book between 8.5 and 9.4 :o
