5th Annual March Madness CGC Grading Tournament- Seeding Round

[Nostalgic Attic]

Final score: 2

 

I suspect I'll be participating in the play-in game.

 

 

 

Let the games begin...

[Nostalgic Attic]

I dont remember last year rules, if a books is a 9.6 and I gave 9.2, I am within .5 or not? I guess not, but please feel free to confirm

 

9.6 minus 9.2 is .4 so that is within .5.

[marmat]

Cool, than my score is 4

[Jeffro.]

Maybe I should just concede now.

[Aces]

65 teams this year

 

 

We will have one play-in game for the #64 and 65 ranked teams.

 

I will be establishing the rankings today and will post the play-in game in this thread.

 

Here are the grades for the Seeding books:

 

CTK #47 W 9.6

Defenders #34 OWW 8

Fantastic Four #55 OWW 9.0

Fantastic Four #61 OWW 8.5

Incredible Hulk #118 COW 7.5

Jungle Action #6 W 9.2

Master of Kung Fu #18 Cr-OW 9.0

Strange Tales #147 W 9.2

Thor #132 OWW 9.0

TOS #70 OWW 7.0

 

wow nailed the 1st 2 then nothing...

well a couple of near misses....

[Cimm]

hmmm...

 

I stink at grading scans... 11 wins, 8 losses... if I scored that correctly... not exactly top seed material

[Wilson3d]

so if you are withing 1 exactly (as in I said 9.0 on an 8.0) it is a zero right?

[sckao]

 

You all need to tabulate it as Wins - Losses... not as a mathematical formula.

 

So it looks like I'm 21 wins - 0 losses. (Only 1 spot on unfortunately.)

 

Not bad for about 10-15 seconds per grade.

[JazzMan]

I think I went 16-6. 3 Spot ons for me! And one way, way off. I have to look at that Hulk 118 again.

[Nostalgic Attic]

so if you are withing 1 exactly (as in I said 9.0 on an 8.0) it is a zero right?

 

1 full grade off means that you are not within .5= 1 loss.

[Wilson3d]

Then I think I am 16 - 2 with a bonus win for 3 exactly right.

 

As long as it is like I asked above and an answer that is exactly 1 off counts as neither a win or a loss.

I think if you guessed 8.0 and it was a 9.0, you get 1 loss.

Spot on= 3 wins

Within .5= 2 wins

Not within .5 = 1 loss

Not within 1= 2 losses

Hulk ruined me too! I had that one much better...

 

Well, at least I'm consistent -- identical seeding score to last yr, 18-3 w/ 2 bullseyes if I'm seeing it right (dang Hulk, -2).

18-2 not bad after all.

Thanks. I was reading it as less than 1. and more than 1. So I thought 1 was zero but I am good at making things more complicated than they need to be. Better just sit back and let him tell me what my score it now...!

 

This is too much fun!!!

[etanick]

I believe I am 11-8

 

the 0.5 off killed me since I had a few that were right on 0.5.

The WORDING is a little weird.

 

I THINK the term "Within" means WITHIN but INCLUDING .5

 

 

So if you are .5 off exactly, I think you get 2 wins. Otherwise, a guess of 8.0 on an 8.5 book would get you one loss even though you missed it by only 1 grade.

 

The point system should become clear when Nostalgic Attic posts the results.
