We definitely need more voters to create a more even polling. With a pool of two voters, you get crazy stuff like the two undeafeted teams, Headhunters and Llamas, tied for third.

Yeah I thought about not posting it, then I decided to hoping more people would participate after the next games.

Guys, I wasn't on when you asked for the poll, and I got on just after midnight last night. If you wouldn't mind po, I am sending my results to you, and hopefully you will update it. Now I do have one problem with this- I don't understand how Hawthorn isn't at least second. I mean, we did beat the teams at #1 and #2, and we have better stats technically than Sacred Haven, though just barely...

EDIT- I just decided to add my points up with the standings, and post how many I gave, along with the new total here:
14 - 1. Suva Hawks 44 (tied)
16 - 1. Hawthorn Headhunters 44 (tied)
15 - 3. Future Llamas of America 43
13 - 4. Sacred Haven Knights 42
12 - 5. Sunshine Coast Condors 37
11 - 6. Christchurch Parrots 31
10 - 7. Nottingham Hoods 30
09 - 8. South Sydney Rabbitohs 27
08 - 9. Lincoln Breeze 25
06 - 10. Saipan Storm 21
05 - 11. Sandersville WarChickens 17
07 - 12. GERMAN WILDDOGS 16
04 - 13. Berlin Devine Right 13
02 - 14. Solomon Islands Pack 8
03 - 15. Redcliff Razamanaz 6
01 - 16. Wellington Assassins 4

Yea, I had Hawthorn with 16pts. so whoever the second voter was must have put you in 5th for 12pts. Go figure.

Yeah you would PM me your votes for Alpha as long as you are a GM or owner of a team in alpha.

I just wonder why I would be in 5th? I could see 2nd (behind Suva), but that's it. I appreciate you voting for me forealus, and I think that in two weeks (4 days), you will be 3rd on my list.

Just for the record, no one on Suva voted, and even if we did, no one would vote for our team over an undefeated team.

As much trash as we talk, we do not do that kind of thing. Just thought I'd put it out on the table.

Hawthorne and Llamas are the #1 and #2 in Alpha, period.

The rest is all subjective.

The fact that an undefeated team that has beaten both teams ranked ahead of them goes to prove how stupid the voters are. We need to publicize the votes so these tools can be ridiculed.

It's not necessarily an indication of stupidity. It could just be the voter has a beef with the HeadHunters.

As much fun as it would seem to publicize the votes and ridicule tools (something I do find fun), it would defeat the purpose of keeping the votes anonymous, which is to encourage participation from every team.

Furthermore, while it may seem harmless to come out and say how you voted because you don't feel you have something to hide, that creates a process of elimination that indirectly defeats the purpose of keeping the votes anonymous.

For the record, just in case you're wondering if I'm protecting myself, I'm on Sacred Haven Knights of which forealus is our rep.

It also just goes to show you need a few people on here to vote so that if a team is thrown down by a voter it will be evened out by lots of participation.

Having to PM various people and tally secret votes and press the bat signal button just is too damn difficult for me.

Tallying votes is really easy if you just use excel.
