Hi again, everyone! :hi:

 

Once again, with the greatest of respect and a tip of my hat to Nik, I would like to offer for your enjoyment, the 4th annual CGC Green Eggs Grading Contest. :headbang:

 

On Tuesday, August 2nd, I will officially start this grading contest over in the "Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?" section of the boards.

 

 

This here is the sign up thread, for all interested. Everyone is welcome to join in. Please post here if you would like to play in this contest. It's a lot of fun, and there will be prizes. (thumbs u

 

1.) You will see 2 books per round, for 10 rounds.

 

2.) There will be an approximate 48 hour time limit between rounds. I will confirm the end time for all rounds once the contest starts. I will send everyone a PM on the day the contest starts. You are to look at the books; figure out the grades and reply to that PM. This will be the same PM thread that you will use to submit all grades for all rounds. Please do not create a new PM for each grade submission.

 

3.) No changing of grades will be allowed once submitted. Post only single, numerical grade for each book. If you post more than one grade (e.g. 8.5/9.0) then your submission for that round will be void. No excuses. As there will be 2 books per round, make it clear which grade is for which book. For example, say ASM #1 4.5 and on the next line say FF #12 8.0. Please don't screw this up. 2c

 

4.) The page quality and any noticeable defects you can not see on the book from the scan will be given for each round. Do not PM with questions. Assume that all of the books have been pressed. The scans that you will be looking at will be of the book already inside the CGC case.

 

5.) Points awarded will be as follows; 5 points for a direct hit, 3 points for 1 grade off, 1 point for 2 grades off and -1 point for 3 grades off. If you are 4 grades off or more, I'm going to hit the "notify moderator" button.

 

6.) Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishers, and likely many, many more. From what we've seen in previous years, folks have been extremely generous and most people that enter will win a prize. Also,a booby prize will be given for last place. Last place is defined as the person who has participated in all the rounds and has the lowest score. You can not sign up, do nothing and win the booby prize.

 

7.) And, of course, I can never forget to offer my special thanks to sckao, who has once again agreed to help me with the score keeping and the behind-the-scenes hard work. (worship) Thanks Shin!! (worship)
