<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bahabully, post: 878451, member: 17555&quot;]Round 7 recap:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Again, good strong participation and competition !</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think we around the halfway point after round 7.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Why 2nd tier&#039;s ? I have around 2 more rounds worth of them queued up (~8 more within the ~28 total remaining),, I&#039;ve looked at them, and there are no over the top zingers in the group as there were in the cent round. There are a couple that could have been graded a grade lower, and a couple that could have been graded a grade higher.... but I probably offer the same guidance for the big 3 group also. Anyway, they represent a minority of the graded population and should not affect the rankings significantly,,, If I find any that the group deviates from too far, then we can put it to a vote to remove after they are scored.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; :loud::loud::loud::loud::loud:</p><p>:high5: WE HAVE OUR FIRST EXACTA&nbsp; :high5:</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; :loud::loud::loud::loud::loud:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>** Some 20 rounds into the grading exercises and WHAM **</p><p>Not so easy, but viola &gt;&gt;&gt; CONGRATULATIONS....</p><p>.....
