Link to Voting Form

CBC will be once again running the Players Choice award for 2007. This gives players the opportunity to vote for their favourite contest that ran during the past year. The vote will be administered by Aramann and myself.

The Player's Choice will go online in the coming days and players will have approximately 4 weeks to vote.

Money Bags started very close to the end of 2007 and will be included next year. Other current/recently ended contests (Aisle of Plenty and The Navy Lark) will be eligible.

Rules/Procedures

1. As happened last year, a form will be prepared in Word and players will be asked to select their favourite three contests from the list. Alternatively, for players who do not have Word 2003 or later, they may vote on a txt document (made in Notepad or similar text editing program). Players may, if they wish vote for only a first choice or only a first and second choice.

2. Each first vote receives 3 points, each 2nd vote receives 2 points, and each 3rd vote receives 1 point.

3. Designers may not vote for contests they designed, but testers may vote for contests they tested.

4. To be eligible to vote, players must have either entered one or more of the eligible contests, tested one or more of the eligible contests, or designed one or more of the eligible contests (but note rule 3 above). You do not need to have entered a contest in order to vote for it.

5. Aramann and myself are eligible to vote, but only up until the time the first vote from anyone other than us is received on the upload utility.

6. The CBC 2007 Players Choice will be the contest with the highest score. In the event of a tie, the winner will be the contest with the most players submitting valid entries.
