The deadline is now this Friday.

 

If you have an excuse for not signing up and you would like to sign up contact me and i will try to get you in. SD people will be let in automatically if they miss the deadline.

 

All information about the competition will be released this Friday night (English Time).

 

All prize information will be released and there may even be scans for you to look at thumbsup2.gif

 

You will also find out about this years twist.

i hope the twist is that you can only vote by PM. those that consistently waited until near the end of the voting by round, and picked a grade that was close to the average selected at that point did very well last time.

 

waiting to see what others think isn't good for 2 reasons, first, it gives those who know little the chance to be very competitive and secondly, many folks are unduly influenced by the opinion of others.

 

i used to run taste testings of beer and champagne during vacations and major sporting events and would always admonish those who felt compelled to talk about their opinions, as it swayed others...........just my opinion.......

I am in

 

 

P.S. Rule #27: Thou shalt not whine about "how I'd be in first place if only I didn't miss half of the grading contests".

 

P.S. Rule #28: No quitting the contest halfway through and giving your points to someone else, cheater! makepoint.gif

 

P.S. Rule #29 Read Rule #28 After reading Rule #28 Read Rule #29

I really get very little thrill from competition. There has to be more then bragging rights up to maintain my interest.

Ok, now that I have three accounts playing I should stand a good chance. stooges.gif

 

A good way to eliminate shills would be to require a shipping address in order to play.

It would just be sad if some loser used shills to win

Don't worry about the problem with people cheating and copying grades like last time i don't think it will happen this time for some reason 893scratchchin-thumb.gif
