235 posts in this topic

:acclaim: Welcome March Madness Grading Tournament - Round of 128 :acclaim:

 

Rules for this and future rounds:

 

1. Do not talk about the books in this thread or any other thread. Do not talk to your wife about these books. Do not talk to your friends about these books. Do not talk to your dog about these books.

 

2. Four books will be posted. PM me all grades in the order they are listed. Use the template I provided to send the grades

 

3. Submit your grades in standard CGC recognized increments.

 

4. Due date for grades for this round is Monday, March 14th at 10:00p (EST) or when the last team submits its grades. All grade submissions are final.

 

5. No conditional grades will be accepted. Please ask questions to seek clarification before submitting grades.

 

6. The following is a list of things I will always disclose when posting the scans.

A. Any defects not clearly visible. (ie. NCB creases)

B. Moisture Stains not apparent on the scan.

C. Damage to a book which was not present at the time of grading.

D. Any damage/ scratches on the CGC case which may appear as flaws on the book.

 

7. Your score will be tallied based on the sum of the points awarded for the grades assigned each book based on the chart below:

 

Spot on= 20 points

.2 or closer = 18 points

.5 or closer= 15 points

.7 or closer= 10 points

1 or closer = 7 points.

1.2 or closer= 5 points.

1.5 or closer= 2 points

2 or closer = 0 points

Over 2 grades off= Technical Foul -5 points

 

 

Bonus (cumulative):

2 books spot on= 5 points

3 books spot on=10 points

 

 

The Team with the highest score wins the game and advances. There will be an overtime book posted in the event of a tie.

 

Good Luck to everyone.

Do people who don't submit grades for a book also get the -5 technical foul?

So someone who skips a round gets -20?

 

If someone doesn't submit a grade for a book, the grade is assumed to be zero.

 

Although I am not sure why someone would not submit a grade for a book. It's never happened as long as I've been running this Tournament.

Well I would assume if that is indeed the case, it could be tactical.

If a book is really tricky, take the zero as opposed to risking a bad guess and receiving negative points?

*** Hold off on sending grades as I want to check graders notes to see if there is anything worth mentioning ***

 

Large Scans are not showing, anyone else?

 

Also I'm assuming we will get the all clear?

No, the submitted grade is assumed to a zero. The score would be based off of the grade of the book vs. the submitted grade of zero.

I just uploaded to it. Maybe try another browser (shrug)

 

Thanks Toro. I gave the laptop a reboot and had to try multiple times to upload the same images. It finally worked. The large scans for the round of 128 are up.
