Yeah, I missed the notation too. Please make them bold perhaps?

Did I not make it to the next round?

Should we remind you to wipe the sleep out of your eyes too? :baiting:

Meh. Not bad. The two that gave me a problem were ASM #129 and Warlord. The #129 was badly affected by the missing piece, but I struggled with just how bad. I gave it a 4.5. Warlord, it's hard to guess how writing affects things, so I said 7.5. Everything else was one level off, with one spot on (SC.)

Missed the trigger twins, too. Thought that big ol' marker would affect it more.

I can't grade scribbled books! lol

Most of my losses were to that team with the black sharpie too...hope there won't be a lot of that going on in the tournament.  I was recalling a GA book in the green eggs contest that had red marker scribbled over an otherwise nice book that came up a 4.0, so that influenced my guessing.  Maybe the CGC rules are black = 6.0 and red = 4.0? (shrug)   Personally don't feel like any book with marker writing on it should go higher than a 5.0...should be an automatic thing like a subscription crease.

I'm sorry that I missed the Deadline. I was away and thought that I would be able to grade the books on the 8th, but I had so much to do after my return that it didn't work out. The same happened last year with a vacation around the same time. This sucks. Hopefully next year :wishluck: Have fun with the contest!

You're in.  I will send a PM.

Since we have under 128 contestants, there's going to be a lot of first round BYEs. We'll get you in as the last place seed.

Apologies to adampasz for cutting & pasting the format of his post but it saved me a lot of time for doing my own version but I'm struggling to understand why I got 10/9. What am I missing here?

 

ASM 85: Mine 8.0, Actual 8.5 --> +2W
ASM 129: Mine 4.0, Actual 3.5 --> +2W
JLA: Mine 8.5, Actual 8 --> +2W
GL: Mine 9.0, Actual 9.2 --> +2W
PP: Mine 3.5, Actual 4 --> +2W
Toma: Mine 2.0, Actual 2.5 --> +2W
TT: Mine 7.0, Actual 6.5 --> +2W
MF: Mine 6.5, Actual 5.0 --> +2L
SC: Mine 0.5, Actual 0.5 --> +3W
WAR: Mine 6.0, Actual 6 --> +3W

By my calculation I should be 20/2.

Did you not follow the book order? Because your entry is totally screwed up? Especially Books 3 and 4 grades are transposed.

You're transposed too...  (Your grades are entered into the spreadsheet and if they are entered in the wrong order, then that explains the grade....)

Brackets are delayed until we get this sorted out... My apologies. I'm not sure what happened during the input process. (I just got the
"Final version" yesterday night.)

Argh, you're right of course. Don't know why I did that other than that I'm an insufficiently_thoughtful_person. I deserve 10/9. :(

 

EDIT: Just seen I did it in the order the large scans were posted. Still my fault of course for not following the instructions but at least I'm not totally random.
