I'm fairly certain that something was off in the record keeping of this event. 

As far as I can tell most everybody is having issues with the math on their scores.

I would contact chad to find out if that is the correct spreadsheet. It seems wrong to me. Especially given that the guy who took overall and best general played against two people from Endgame who can attest to whether they gave him perfect 10's across 2 games. 

Its obviously not the end of the world to get a terrible sportsmanship score, though if they're doing something wrong with their scoring system for lots of people, it should be reconciled.

Shenanigans!!

My final paint score was 18 out of 35 (or 40?).  The second worst score.  Really??  Andrew's Kroot/Tyranids got the same score as Greg's (Erch-painted) orks.  No offense meant to Andrew, but they are not close to the job Erch did on those Orks (as Zach noted above).  I'm not Rembrandt, but everything had 3 colors, some were quite good (I didn't paint them) and everything had flocking or paint on their bases (except for the Engines).

The comp, paint and sports scores were screwy.  Tim showed me his sheet, and he gave me a full 5 for comp and a full 10 for sports. 

My final sports score was a 21 — which means that I averaged 5.5 for each game.  Now, some of the items were fixed points: did I have my stuff (yes), did I arrive on time (yes).  With those two taken care of, I averaged 3.5 for the remaining 8 points… Now ANYONE who has played against me knows that I'm congenial and let people fix things (like the Necron player who moved, took it back and then moved again to contest an objective), I give the benefit of the doubt on rules questions, I laugh and congratulate good rolls by my opponent.  I'm really baffled.

My final comp score was 9 — which means that I averaged a 2 for the other two games.  I had no Exorcists and only two Rhinos.  Huh??

My second opponent (Necrons) and third opponent (Eldar) were uncle & nephew… Coincidence on the points anomolies?

Adan "Now ANYONE who has played against me knows that I'm congenial"

I always give Adan full comp because he can shoot me.

 I didn't win all three of my games, so I really shouldn't care about the soft scores in the first place, I guess….

No one likes to hear that they're a bad person to play against, especially when you thought a given game/opponent was a good experience…

Ok something is definately off. The scores are not right. I just confirmed with someone that they gave someone else a lower sportsmanship score than max – yet that person shows max sports score. I'm going to reach out to Chad on the Yahoo! Group about it.

If you aren't a part of that Yahoo! Group – I will let you know here as soon as I hear back from Chad.

Sorry for the confusion guys.

I know I dinged Scott 1 point for rules knowledge, but then again everybody knows I'm a bit of a softie about things like that. I'm really surprised  that Scott scored better than Carl on painting too, considering that I didn't think his army was that well painted, and Carl's was Death Guard to the core. Ah well, I know how well I did, and how well we all did. We have nothing to be ashamed of from our showing.

Also, Scott's battle points are off, or mine are. He scored the same number of Battle Points as I did in the third round, which should be 12. 10 for the draw, and two others besides. Even if he scored max points in the other two rounds, how did he get the extra four points?

Chad used to be on the old EG Forums, but I don't see his name on these current boards… With the Grand WAAAgh on their plate, I agree they need to resolve this.
