2019 Green Eggs Grading Contest Round 05 - Commentary

Intermission as we reach the halfway mark of this epic contest. :eyeroll:

 

 

Three sit atop our Leaderboard as we reach the halfway point: @ElrodAllWrong, @KryptoMayor, and @Ron C. (worship)(worship)(worship)

Congrats to @Ron C., @MediumLover, @speedcake, @jevlnuts, @Sal, @aszumilo, @Get Marwood & I, @BlowUpTheMoon, @BriD., and @topofthetotem for their Double Bullseyes in this difficult round. :banana::banana:

The Mathematically Eliminated Line is at -20 and will soon break ZERO. Keep above it! :eek:

There are still 50 points to allocate in this contest. It's still anyone's race. :wishluck:

Good Luck in the second half of this tournament! :headbang:

I'll try a half-time recap since sckao must be very busy.
 
Of the 110 still actively competing (8 haven't submitted in past 3 rounds, though that doesn't really mean they won't come back), this past round experienced a record-breaking 65 of the members seriously considering just dropping out from excessive bewilderment at how much to deduct for brittle pages and a broken insides.  Reportedly member's stocks of scotch, bourbon, tequila and gin have all registered a 20% reduction in volume since the announcement of the Round 5 Results.
 
Book #9 crushed a lot of hopes, and guesses ranged from the lowly PR 0.5 though VF/NM 9.0 with at least one WAG in every grade in between.
 
Three veterans are now tied at first place with an incredible 40 pts (an average of only 1 grade off on every 2 books).  ElrodAllWrong, KrytoMayor and Ron C (also alone at top of bulls-eyes board, with 8 bulls-eyes) - all now share the top spot. Also, Elrod has seven bulls, and a handful of players have a solid six bulls.
 
But Azkaban and MediumLover are just a whisker away (in actual reality 2, and 4 points). And perennially top-ranked marmat, speekcake and Wipple are just another 2 pts behind MediumLover. 
 
So it's still a very tight pack at the top few percent (ain't it just the way of the world, no politics dammit).
 
Just 10 of the 110 or so players achieved a double-bull this round.  Some powerful moves up were the results of these climbers - Blowie (up 30), BriD. (up 30), Get Marwood (up 28), aszumilo  (up 26), topoftheTotem (up 24),  jevlnuts (up 21), and Sal  (up 21),

Just now, All Be D'Oh! said:

lol Brutal!

During my short and inglorious reign at the top, I just want to be remembered for:

1) not punching a whole through my monitor

2) eating at my desk and not getting any crumbs onto the keyboard

3) never once using the :banana: emoji

Proof you used the :banana: emoji
