Two ballots so far. I'm out for today, it's almost midnight here and a festive 14% beer is waiting. See you on January 1st, 2021. Or on December 32th, 2020. I'd rather see the first though.

So the person who's idea this was didn't even vote? :rolleyes:
I did eventually vote.

The problem was semifinal voting day was New Year's Eve here, and I had a long day of work (ending at 9pm local time) followed by immediate trip to a friend's house for a full night/next day of holidaying.

We're one day past the deadline and since I don't think it's fair to let people wait any longer, I have to come up with a result now. Both series are tied and since I didn't manage to get a tie-breaking vote from a non-GM, the regular season standings will determine who advances.

Freshwater Bogtrotters advance over Philadelphia Firebirds.
Sarnia Sting advances over Cleveland Crusaders.

Sorry for the unelegant solution, but it's not always easy in a draft with 4 GMs.

I believe the margin of difference in playoff hockey between the four clubs is razor thin.

So, I don't think there are any clear winners or losers. Great drafting by all!
