Sorry if it has taken us a while to grade this event. 

All entries were graded by both GMs and players. Some players were asked to answer the forum score sheet to show representation in the different kinds of readers and players that we have.

What most of the judges noticed was the lack of proper emphasis used in the guides. This would have made the guides easier to read. For example, some of the guides used bold in all the texts, while some used none. One writer was also noted for having such detailed work, but lacked proper emphasis which made the post less engaging, and quite hard to read. One entry had good layout, but the use of bold in almost the entire post made it difficult to point out the most important points. Enumerating, listing in bullets, and using proper emphasis is noted to make a great difference in these guides.

Content-wise, a lot of the posts lacked insights on how to use basic information for certain things and conditions  - failing to give game hacks and tips that are worth mentioning. 

Titles were also graded. There were some titles that are all-encompassing in nature,  but only showed just a tiny piece of a whole.  

 

tl;dr

• Other posts strengths are another's weakness.
• Use emphasis when needed.
• Make use of lists for easier reading.
