Another question... do you guys think 2 players EVER grade out equally?  Like completely equally?

 

I find it hard to believe that with all the information available to scouts and GMs that they couldn't discern differences..  I can't imagine a group of players with identical grades where they're just like "oh just pick em out of a hat, they're equal".

 

But very interesting topic.

 

It would make sense to pick someone who has thrived in your climate, for example, especially if your climate is considered extreme.
