For those who do wind up getting a bye..... are grades for this round still submitted (for future use or the amusement of others)? ....  or should those people just play along at home?

I believe last year he posted the score even for the Bye people so you can see how well you did (and everyone else can also).  Of course no risk of losing.

Yes, but the risk of being mocked does increase.    lol

The secret is to purposely do bad if you have a bye, thus giving your next opponent a false sense of security. :ph34r:

I PMd some questions I have on a book.

On the back cover of the Watchmen book, you'll see some squiggly lines.   Those are from the inside of the scanner glass; ignore them.   If you look closely you'll see them on the most scans, usually in the top right of the book, especially in the darker areas.

Forgive my ignorance, and my preference to type a whole bunch more words in this post than a Google search would take, but what is a "bye"...?

It's when you don't have to play against someone that round.  You get an automatic pass into the next round. The question I have is how do we know if we got a buy this time? I'm getting my grades ready just in case.

Oh, thank you! I never knew that.

Only thing you have to buy is more funny books!

According to sckao's rankings in the other thread (seen in spoilers below), there are 24 spaces at the end without players. Since people are matched up highest ranked versus lowest ranked, I believe that the top 24 players in the ranking will have a bye for the next round.

I'm pretty sure that's how it works. I believe, however, that sckao is still working on the exact final rankings, so don't just assume you have a bye. As stated earlier, grades submitted by anyone who does have a bye will not affect their advancement.

I'll apologize now if I'm wrong about all this.

Hey @sckao, not a big deal but for the sake of OCD it’s “ComicQuant”! lol 

Tell that to BlowUptheMoon.... I already corrected MustEatBrain's entry (MustEarBains 12-8):makepoint:

I just copied them from the initial spreadsheet.

(I'll fix it.... maybe next round. :baiting: )

 

Oh... You just Capitalized some letters. (Fixed in my bracket.)
