Dear All,

I absolutely agree with Jim. You don't want to grant individual appeals.
Said another way--If you accept individual appeals then you remove
individual's responsibility to try to influence their team and YOU DON'T
WANT TO DO THAT.

One other point--If I accept a team's appeal, it also applies to the scores
of individuals IN THAT TEAM. For example, if I accept a team appeal for C
and a correct answer when I had keyed B as he correct answer then, FOR THAT
TEAM anyone with either B OR C would get credit.
