[VanillaCoke]

Tomorrow night apparently

 

[Vankiller Whale]

Are the two teams in the same division at least?

 

[Ainec]

hmm a tie

if it's a metro team I will change my vote from Columbus (assuming Columbus isn't making it due to incompletion)

 

[Peen]

Still confused about the complaining.

Thought we had until Wednesday at midnight to vote.

McPeen just does not give a damn.
Perhaps Peen will be more cooperative?

 

[Peen]

Peer pressure works.

 

[DFAC]

[nameless1]

Pacific is most likely division.
Like other posters have stated...
I too think there are more than 3 playoff teams there.

 

[Peen]

I voted baby as highest scoring team and best power play but didn't have them in the playoffs

 

[Intangibos]

P Diddy is coming to get me

 

[Bam19]

Updated. /\

I am satisfied with 21 votes, so I see no need to chase anyone else for votes. I am going to wait until I get home from work tonight anyways, so if any more votes trickle in by then I will accept them.

I do need help with deciding the tie-breaker. I have a 3-way tie for the last playoff spot. One team voted his team 1st, one team voted his team 2nd, and one team hasn't voted yet. 2 of the teams have a first place vote, but only one is by themselves. One team appeared on more ballots than the others.

Please say which you think we should pick.

- Team who voted his own team lower (which how do we handle the one team that hasn't voted)
- Team with most 1st place votes (2 of them have 1 each, but one is by a 3rd party)
- Team that appeared on the most ballots (one team has an advantage over the others here)

 

[Vankiller Whale]

Being totally objective, I think it should go to the team that hasn't voted yet, because odds are he'll at least have himself in the playoffs if he were to vote, which would break the tie.

I know that can only hurt me, given that I have already voted, but it makes the most sense to me.

 

[Bam19]

Let's hope we get another ballot? Just out of curiosity how Re you scoring the votes?

Is a first place vote worth more than a 3rd place vote?

I would say whoever appears on the most ballots as that would at least reduce variance as more people obviously like that team better.

I'm not ready to make that assumption. A lot of people didn't have their team in the top 3, and his team is obviously a fringe team since it is 8th-10th in the conference.

Below is the actual voting for these three teams:

Team | 1st| 2nd| 3rd| Total| Ballots
Team A| | 3| 5| 11| 8
Team B| 1| 2| 4| 11| 7
Team C| 1| 3| 2| 11| 6

Team C has not voted. Team B voted his own team 1st, Team A voted his own team 2nd.

3 points first place, 2 points second place, 1 point third place vote.

If no more votes are recieved I would vote team A as most people voted them into the playoffs. I know a lot of the races were close and deciding to put a team first or second was a coin flip in some cases.

Also I'm curious what teams these are and how I voted in the matter.

 

[Captain Bowie]

And unrelated to this tie there was a tie in one division for 2nd, both voted their teams first, they appeared on the same number of ballots, so I gave the edge to the team with the most 1st votes. Though it won`t affect much since they are both in the playoffs and will play each other regardless.
