I have four ballots, which isn't ideal. The remaining GMs have voted, but no-one else. Should we wait and try to get 1-2 additional more ballots?

Game 7 OT! The definition of a hard fought series that could have gone either way. Congrats to @ResilientBeast on building a strong club that was a goal away from advancing to the finals. My apologies for not having any time this past week for a back and fourth in our matchup thread. Just didn’t work out.
Congrats to @kruezer as well. One of my favorite clubs built this year and you were certainly a contender. You just ran into a strong Maine club. Great work though.
Thank you to everyone who continues to vote!
Now, it looks like Van and I are having a finals rematch since our clubs battled it out in the 2019 finals as well.

FYI, I only have three ballots.
EDIT: But then, the decision is unanimous. I will post the result.

Thanks to everyone who stuck around and continued to vote.
Wow, I came in with intention to try and defend my MLD title from last year and I had a goal of repeating, but I wasn’t sure if I could pull it off even though I thought I built another strong lineup. There were a few strong teams this year that over the course of the draft I thought were coming together quite nicely. Kudos to everyone involved.
This was fun!
And thank you to @Theokritos for tallying all of the votes this year.

Indeed.
As is: I am now a back-to-back MLD finalist, a 5-time MLD finalist loser.
(I did co-GM two MLD championships, both over a decade ago.)
Thanks, BB! I loved my 2019 team and thought I put together a pretty good one this year as well, but I wasn’t as confident I could pull it off again. There were some pretty solid teams built this year, I thought. I’m now 2 for 2 in MLD’s, so that’s pretty neat.
Being a 5-time MLD finalist (and 2 time co-winner) is very impressive as well, Van. You’re a perennial contender and that’s certainly something to be proud of.

I will admit I was TOTALLY wrong on Josh Allen. Guy is looking real good and I didn’t want my Browns touching him with a 10 foot pole. Things are looking up for Bills fans.
