Hey, @Point Five, I saw you had a rule to not look at the census...I've never even considered doing that...I imagine some people are cheating to see if there are no books "surrounding" the approximate grades?

Like, if a book is in the 4.0 range, and there's only a single book graded 4.5, and no other book higher than 3.0 or lower than 6.0, then people are using that to make their guesses...?

Huh.

If so, that's kinda sleazy. hm

I'm fine in coming at or near the top in consistency in these contests. I think I was 3rd or 4th in Andy's contest in terms of consistent grading.

Grading is as inconsistent at CGC as it has ever been. I just submitted 88 Silver/Early Bronze Spidey Romitas...I "bullseyed" maybe 10 of them. Books that I thought would grade 7.0 got 8.5s, and books that I put as "9.2/9.4" (meaning, could go either way) got 9.0...it's all over the map. I had at least four books that were blue labels that went DOWN a level (which is not supposed to happen.) 

And the reality is this: everyone who got within a "half grade" (that is, graded a book a 5.0 or 3.0, when it was a 4.0) is within the realm of accurate. If you're grading a 3.5 as 6.5...then you're having a problem. ;)

Good thoughts.  I'm glad I mainly got 1s then.  I do wonder how the HELL @Azkaban always kicks so much .

:banana:  I forgot how much pain and how much fun I had with your contest.  You need to revive it again at some point in the future!

Revive it? It’s barely been put to bed. 
this Lightning tourney was a ton of fun. 
let’s allow some others to dip their toes in the pool 2c
