so... 14 people have entered the competition but only 7 people have voted? Thats a disgrace - those who refused to vote should be kicked off the team and never play for Liverpool again.

 

[poohcarrot]

That is probably the worst piece of adding up I've seen this year, Mongo.

 

[MongoGutman]

But not the worst you've evra seen?

By my reckoning, 12 people have voted so far.

Does that mean that if no one else votes, the people who have voted can vote again???

 

[MongoGutman]

um, I now make it 10 voters so far...

(3x3)+(6x2)+19/4=10

better?

...and that was probably the second worst piece of adding up I've seen this year, Batty.

Suaraz close to the worst.

GROUP STAGE - VOTING SYSTEM CHANGE!

There will be a change from the previously stated voting system for the Group Stage. :whistle: :whistle:

Before
Secret voting. All votes revealed at the end of the competition. :naughty: :hand:

Now
Voting to be on this thread.
Groups decided alternately by total qualifying votes, then chronological order.
Prior to the posting of the groups, all qualifying scores for each story will be posted.
Choose two stories from each group.
Your first choice = 2 points
Your second choice = 1 point
If a story is tied for 1st or 2nd place at the end of the round of group voting, "vote-difference" will be taken into account, ie; A story that received the most votes in the previous qualifying round will be declared the winner.
:clap: :clap: :clap:

Howzabout that, guys and gals? :ugeek: :violin:

 

[pip]

Do we have a choice

 

[poohcarrot]

Yes!

If everyone says it's a pants voting system I'll change it.

This way, everyone can see it's not fixed in the slightest. :dance: :dance:

Sounds to me like there could be a catch
