I think there's a flaw in the way we assign players votes. When we win more posters would be inclined to vote thus a player like a Brown who was best on ground might get say 180 votes. Whereas when we lose and get thumped people would be less inclined to log onto PRE let alone vote, and a player like a Cogs who busted his backside and was clearly our best player might struggle to get 100 votes.
I think a better way would be to give points to say the top 8 vote getters each round - ie the first place getter with the most votes gets 10 points, 2nd gets 8, 3rd 6, 4th 5, 5th 4, 6th 3, 7th 2 and 8th 1. This would balance the votes when we win and lose.
Seeing one person gave Browny 2 votes then posted a few days later that he'd played a shocker, and another poster gave him 3 votes despite not hearing the game and only watching the last quarter I reckon he'd get votes if he didn't even play. Dunc probably got a few bonus votes in his day too. ;D
As to your point about the voting system it might well give a fairer representation but it's also a lot of extra work.
Would you be willing to take over the tallying the player of the year votes and posting results?
Tiggy kindly offered to do the voting for us, but she's already doing the tropical tipping, and I don't want to add to her workload.
Our voting has always been done by this 3-2-1 method and has been pretty spot on with the official top 5 or so results so I personally don't see any great need to change things. Last year we voted Joel the winner and I think had all of the other place getters so the system, and our supreme judgement, proved accurate.
Of course other opinions are welcome. :hearton
That's as screwy as the points system for the ladder. Might as well be 5-4-3...Otis said:I'll tally up the votes in a 10-8-6 method if you'd like...
