  Subject: [HPforGrownups] HBP contest -- Minion recruitment


  Hello All, 

  As soon as the HPfGU list opens up after the HBP moratorium, I will 
  be recruiting minions to evaluate the HBP prediction contest 
  entries. 

  Qualifications for minions: 16 years old or above, dependable, 
  finished reading HBP at least once, and just wild about Harry. 

  If you sign up as a minion, you will receive a rubric (a very 
  explicit guide about how to grade the questions and how much each 
  answer is worth) and a packet of 10 entries. 

  I estimate that familiarizing yourself with the rubric and grading 
  the 10 entries should take no more than an hour and half and will 
  probably be more like an hour. 

  When you complete the grading, email the entries back to TK. That's 
  it. You may be asked if you would like to grade another packet if 
  there are packets left, but you are under no obligation to do so. 
  You have already fulfilled your part of the bargain. Aloha. 

  You will not be identified as a minion on the entry. You are 
  anonymous. Tiger will take all blame and arbitrate all disputes, 
  ruthlessly. In the event of a dispute about the grading, you will 
  not be blamed nor even identified. Tiger will reevaluate the 
  *entire* entry and that grade will be final (and probably more 
  ruthless). Remember, as a minion, you cannot be questioned. Your 
  answers are ruthless, arbitrary, and final. 

  In the filk identifying the contest winner, minions will be 
  identified and thanked profusely. 


  Example of rubric:

  Let's say that, in HBP, both DD and Molly W die. Other sundry
  smallish characters like Sturgis Podmore also die.

  The first question reads "Who is the *most* major character who will
  die?" (worth 5 points.)

  * If the answer is DD: 5 points.
  * If the answer is Molly: 4 points.
  * If the answer is Sturgis Podmore: 1 pt.
  * If the answer is Lupin (who did not die): 0 pts.

  * If the answer states more than 1 character, individual 
  determinations will
  be made. Double-guessing 2 correct answers may earn extra credit. One
  right and one wrong answer will be less than 100% because the person 
  took 2
  shots at getting it right. (I realize that's draconian, but these are
  the compulsory questions, and there are 5 open-ended questions.) Two
  wrong answers will be worth 0.

  If the answer is DD and Molly: 7 points. 
  If the answer is DD and Lupin: 3 points.
  If the answer is Molly and Lupin: 2 points. 

  That's it. Please consider volunteering for minion status after the 
  moratorium is lifted.
