ECRHA All-Star Voting

[William Bourque]

For the first time ever, the ECRHA will be using a NHL like fan voting system, giving every player or fan the ability to vote for their favorite player or teammates. Just making the Ballot is an honor, but not everyone can be chosen. Now that the ballots have been announced, it is time for you to make your choices to represent your teams in the All-Star game. This year there will be three All-Star games (DI, DII, B) and each one should be extremely exciting and entertaining. Voting for the All-Star game will take place from Monday, January 15, 2007 to Monday January 29, 2007. At the conclusion of the two-week voting period, the top 12 players and 3 goalies will be elected to the All-Star game. The top 4 players and goalies will be named starters for their respective squads. Any ballots that are not completely and properly filled out will be discarded at the conclusion of the voting period. Additionally, every survey responses and the IP/Computer they originate from will be monitored. Any individual that attempts to circumvent the rule of one ballot per person will result in the entire teams forfeiture from participation in the ECRHA All-Star games and skills competition.

repost from the ECRHA area:
-----
Ballots closed.

I guess all the warnings weren't enough. It was fun while it lasted

We'll come out with plan B for all-star voting tomorrow.

For those out of the loop, people kept resetting their cookies and voting repeatedly and unfortunately the service we used doesn't have a better way to combat repeat votes.

It's a shame it came to that, why cheat? Unfortunately this type of thing happens all the time. An honest vote would make for a better game and give the deserving players a chance to prove they belong there!!

So whats the deal, and how is it going to work down, are we still going to do all-star games?

[GoRangrHky]

The games are definitely happening. It's now just a matter of how the all-stars are selected. It's probably just going to go back to the way it used to be- 1 vote per team.

oh alright, well when is it going to be official

oh alright, well when is it going to be official

Most of us have jobs and classes to attend to first...

when we say tommorrow, or any date for that matter, that usually means somewhere in the 9p-12am time frame...

im sure we will come up with something, we just need to actually have some time to do it...


well, im off to Mechanical Analysis of Sports Skills...should be fun

i completely agree, i'm curious to know who was doing it tho.. my network scan from our professionals showed no indication of it coming from the west point network.. perhaps it was rebecca?

[RustyPipes27]

Are you kidding me?

[MBurke]

I've got the IPs. I'm entirely certain of where they came from, unless someone really wanted to take the time to spoof their IP.

It's a moot point now - I'm still working on the ballot because unfortunately no one has a great foolproof system out that handles balloting the way we need it to prevent people from cheating.

Sack races, Burke. Sack races. That will decide who the true all-stars are.
