2014 March Madness Comic Grading Tournament - Seeding Round

[BlowUpTheMoon]

Welcome to the Start of the 2014 March Madness Comic Grading Tournament.

 

There are plenty of returning veteran teams so it should be a fun and competitive tournament. I'll have the seeding scans posted within 24 hours. If there are questions, maybe some of the veteran teams can answer them.

 

To allow more teams to play, this year will have two brackets (East and West) with 64 teams each. The winner of each bracket will compete against each other to determine the overall winner.

 

All books were pressed. No books were cleaned or humidified.

 

These books are not in the census yet.

 

7th Annual March Madness Grading Contest Prize List Don't hesitate to contribute. There has been some great prizes donated so far.

 

This round is to establish a won-loss record for each team so the bracket pairings can be set. Future head to head single elimination rounds will involve grading only four books. The scans will be posted, and the scoring and rules are listed below.

 

Good luck to all....

 

_________________________________________________________________________________

The rules for this round are as follows:

 

1. Do not talk about the books in this thread or any other thread.

 

2. PM me all grades in the order they are listed and write your username. Associate the book with the grade. No grade changes are allowed after submitting your grades. Submit all nine grades at the same time.

 

3. Grades are due by 10pm (EST) Monday, March 24th.

 

4. You may PM me or ask questions in the thread. Answers will be posted in the thread so everyone has the same info.

 

5. Each player’s won-loss record will be determined as follows:

 

Spot on= 3 wins

Within .5= 2 wins

Not within .5 = 1 loss

Not within 1= 2 losses

Bonus= The third spot on grade will be granted 1 bonus win, fourth= 2 bonus wins, fifth through tenth= 3 bonus wins.

You'll have to answer that question based on the scans.

Pro Tip: Save the images to your computer and download Picasa for Windows. Picasa allows you to enlarge and move around the images very easily using the flywheel on your mouse or the arrow keys.

Is there a Mac equivalent? Or is this only for Windows?
