Seekers V WBC Challenge Results

The WBC look to clinch a playoff spot with a win here. They lost the poll by over 30% but Colonel may have saw something we didn’t. Let’s find out.

Seekers: Stampede In The East

Judge 1: Stampede in the east

Grammar 1.0/2.0 -The Grammar is alright for the most part Just started reading it I and found some mistakes. One of the more notable ones was ‘he started off his Buffalo career decently, despite despite’ it was in a very early part of the blog as well. There were some smaller ones but it dosen't affect it that much.

CIA 1.8/3. The blog was interesting to read. However, it came off as a little generic it didn't feel that creative but it's also not a thing I've seen written about before. Overall nice idea.

Writing- 2.0/4.0 The writing was good if the grammar was improved it would have helped. Otherwise, I liked the writing and it was more than readable and it was a nice blog to read.

Formatting 1/1 the formatting was great. It looked nice and it made it easier to read.

Total: 5.8/10

Judge 2: DJ- Grammar 1.3/2. Few grammar mistakes that I saw and minimal comma mistakes as well. I was genuinely shocked to see how much DJ had improved his grammar. In the early stages in the blog, it was quite rough and it wasn't the easiest to read but as I did read on it did and was a nice read.

CIA- 2.2/3. I was impressed by DJ here as well. Although it being such a common topic the way he presented it us as if the teams are kingdoms is a new way of looking at things but he also included a good amount of normal football as well. I did feel interested the whole way through as no parts of the blog did I feel like I wanted to stop reading. The analysis was also there as it didn't leave me with any questions besides what will happen in the future for Buffalo but that isn't an answer that can be accurately predicted.

Writing- 2.4/4. The flow was really smooth and I am keen on choppy sentences but there weren't much of any that was included in this blog. The vocabulary was decent but I feel like can be improved as well as it did feel like there wasn't much of a risk taken when it came to using new in the blog. The sentence length was almost perfect. The beginning did feel a bit elongated for no reason as it felt like he explained more than he should have because he ended up re-explaining everything later on into the blog.

Formatting- 1/1 yep

WBC: The Polaroid

Judge 1: The Polaroid

(Grammar 1.7/2.0) No notable grammar errors. Good grammar but nothing amazing it was easy to read. (

CIA 1.3/3.0) Good idea but nothing amazing. It was an entertaining read but it was not a great one. It was still something we haven't seen and an original idea but nothing unfamiliar.

(Writing 2.6/4.0) Very well written and a good read. No real errors and it wasn't hard to read and it was an interesting idea that made it a entertaining that made it a nice read.

(Formatting 1/1) wasn't anything out of this world but it looked nice.

Total: 6.6/10

Judge 2: Colonel- Grammar 1.5/2. I didn't see many mistakes in this blog and commas are in spots where they should be. It's a readable blog and not much to complain about. However, there is always room for improvement but again not too many mistakes that I saw.

CIA- 2.2/3. I loved this idea from Colonel as I've never seen anything like it. The topic was creative and executed greatly. My interest throughout the blog was peaking as I was awaiting what he had to say the entire time. I was a bit confused at first as I didn't understand the topic but when I got about less than halfway through I got it. I do wish you explained the topic a little bit better but that wasn't a big issue.

Writing- 2.1/4. I liked his writing here. The flow felt smooth and very few choppy sentences. I wish the sentence variety was a little bit better as with some sentence lengths. The beginning of the blog was probably at its best when it came to flow and smoothness. Later on, it did pick up, however. I wish the vocabulary was improved just a tiny bit as I do want Colonel's vocabulary expanded instead of using the same over and over again. It's a common mistake but it was hardly evident in his blog. Again, not too many mistakes. Just things can be improved upon.

Formatting- 1/1 yep

Seekers: God’s Plan

Judge 1: Gods plan

(Grammar 1.6/2.0)Good Grammar all around. I did find some errors though the biggest being ‘He would go onto cement him name in UCF history’ otherwise it was very easily readable aside from minimal other errors.

(CIA 2.3/3.0) Good idea all around. Story blogs/ backstory blogs are overused but this was short and interesting. Didn't feel dragged on and was a nice read.

(Writing 2.5/4.0) The blog was written well for a short blog. Had minimal errors and nothing felt forced or hard to read.

(Formatting 1/1) This was very well-formatted.

Total: 7.4/10

Judge 2: OP Z- Grammar 1.1/2. Not the best I've seen from Op Z but even not at his best it wasn't that bad. Some comma mistakes were often occurring in this blog as some areas didn't have any when they should've and vice versa. It was an easy read from the beginning and no real troubles but there were some glaring mistakes right from the get-go.

CIA- 1.5/2. It was sure an interesting read as I didn't know Richie Grant's backstory that well and I was pleased that Op Z was able to explain it here. I don't think the first part needed to be included but it was a nice touch either way. I get why it was included because of the topic in general but it just felt unwarranted to me. Though being a common topic as well it was presented creatively. "God's Plan" was a good way of talking about him and I think Op Z did a good job.

Writing- 1.9/4. So I would say this is below average writing here from Op Z has many choppy sentences and it didn't feel smooth. It wasn't totally unreadable but I know he could do better. However, I did think Op Z's vocabulary was very good and nicely done as there were some in there that I was pleasantly surprised to see him use. His vocab has gotten better over time let me tell you. The sentence length could be improved a lot however as more so in the beginning and end of the blog they felt either too long or too short. But it wasn't that bad though.

Formatting- 1/1 yep

WBC: THE DARK PACK: 004

Judge 1: The Dark Pack 004

(Grammar 1.3/2) There were no notable mistakes but there were some extended sentences that should have been ended earlier. Otherwise, it was solid.

(CIA 1.7/3.0) It was an entertaining idea but it didn't keep me hooked. The idea was solid and informational about the backstory Jim Marshall.

(Writing 2.3/4.0) It was easy to read and had no evident grammar issues that made it hard to read. Overall it was acceptable and nice writing.

(Formatting 1/1) it's nice formatting.

Total: 6.3/10

Judge 2: Sean- Grammar 1/2. Sean's grammar has improved as he continues to blog but still needs to be improved in the first place. There were a lot of commas and sentences were continued when they shouldn't have been. I can see Sean getting better however so there wasn't much to complain about.

CIA- 1/3. I struggled to give this section a 1. At first, it was a creative idea but the more he does it the less it does become creative. In the end, he says that Dark Pack is in the works which is not a delight to see. The creativity wasn't found here and neither was my interest. I felt not interested in reading this blog but I know I had to. The idea is getting a bit repetitive, to say the least. I need to see something new from Sean. It's just so hard to understand and I didn't get it. Or I at least somewhat do but barely. It left me wondering but not wondering in a good way. I'm wondering when he is going to get a new fresh idea. It's obvious people are getting tired of it and so am I.

Writing- 1.7/4. Although, being a repetitive idea it was written decently. Not much to rave about but not much to complain about either. It's meh. The flow felt smooth but the sentences were so elongated it felt like the sentence was never going to end. Multiple paragraphs didn't have a period but just commas in the paragraph until it was over. The vocabulary needs to be expanded as I have seen the same words over and over again.

Formatting- 1/1 I guess

Seekers: The Shield And Spear Paradox

Judge 1: The shield and spear paradox

(Grammar 1.8/2.0) There are no notable grammar errors or spelling errors or just mistakes in this blog writing-wise.

(CIA 1/3) This wasn't a great idea nor that interesting of a read. It's been done before it's one of the biggest matchups the NFL had and there have been many posts on it in the past.

(Writing- 1.8/4.0) Although there weren't any notable grammar errors the writing itself could be improved. It wasn't that fun to read or entertaining to read. The vocabulary wasn't bad either but I feel like it could be improved.

(Formatting 1.0/1.0) The formatting could be improved but it wasn't bad either.

Total: 5.6/10

Judge 2: Umbreon- Grammar 1/2. It wasn't unreadable but there were some moments in the blog where I was confused at what he meant to say. the commas weren't a big issue more so just difficulty reading it occasionally. Especially in the beginning and when describing both players it wasn't the easiest. Just try to improve upon making the words flow better next to each other and reread everything before posting.

CIA- 1.6/3. I get the idea of what he was presenting but it could have been better. The ideology of the unstoppable force meets the immovable object is kind of exaggerated a lot by people. But again I get the point he was trying to make. The analysis was there but it had me wondering at the end, what other scenarios happened like this where a good corner stopped a good receiver. It has happened many times and I did want to see Umbreon go into that a little more. However, I will say that Umbreon kept me interested the whole through as I did like where he went with the blog.

Writing- 1.8/4. The flow was eh as it didn't seem like Umbreon was focusing more on the flow as he was focusing on just giving out the information more than anything. I will say he did a lot better on lessening the choppy sentences however. Although, not many choppy sentences they felt longer than they should have been. Almost as they felt like he was explaining more than what was needed from him. Overall decent work here from Umbreon as just a couple minor mistakes dropped his score.

Formatting- 1/1 yep

WBC: Should The Dolphins Trade For Deshaun Watson?

Judge 1: Should the dolphins trade for Watson

(Grammar 1.0/2.0) There were no substantial errors however it's short and there could have been better wording. It's straightforward and simple also.

(CIA 0.5/3.0) This was a very simple idea and a blowout poll idea. It's a question that's been asked for months and has obvious context to it. Didn't enjoy reading it.

(Writing 1.0/4.0) The writing wasn't anything great. It felt rushed and the vocabulary could be improved. It wasn't hard to read but it could have been better and a lot more interesting to read.

Formatting 1/1 it looks alright.

Total: 3.5/10

Judge 2: Hero- Grammar 1.1/2. Some mistakes that could be fixed but not ones that make it unreadable. In the beginning, it was off to a strong start I was quite hopeful but later on, it fell off a cliff. Although there were some mistakes throughout the blog I expected worse but I got better than I thought. Hero did a decent job.

CIA- 1/3. Not a creative idea but the new perspective he gave wasn't that bad. Even though it was a common idea I was interested enough to read the whole thing. By the end, it left me wondering who else thought he should be traded or not. I liked how Hero explained whether he should be traded or not. Especially with Tua only being a 2nd year QB and Watson going through legal issues currently. I wish you went just a little bit more into detail on everything but you did just fine to get by.

Writing- 1.5/4. The writing wasn't special but it wasn't horrible either. It felt smooth but just a bit choppy at times. The commas were needed in some spaces after sentences just abruptly came to end out of nowhere and other sentences went longer than they should have. Vocabulary could have been just a bit better as I wanted to see Hero use some other words instead of being basic. You need to take a little bit more of a risk and try something new. Overall not horrible but can be significantly better.

Formatting- 1/1 yep

Seekers: 36.6 - WBC: 32.5

With that, the challenge doesn’t pay off and the WBC drop to 3-2, in danger of becoming the 4th seed. How the might have fallen. On the other hand, the Seekers advance to 3-1 with a win against the Poolers and are in prime position to snag a top seed.
