Can't see Hurley or Heppell winning another.

Jobe with 6 is something special.

If 3, 2, 1 is the way to go, then can we get some consensus on the weekly voting to assure that everyone is on the same page. Personally I prefer to 5 vote over the 3 vote?

But either way is fine I guess

I agree that there should be uniformity within the voting threads. This mix of voting makes it difficult to tally the top 3 vote getters per round.

3.2.1 is too narrow a field in my book. 5.4.3.2.1 is better.

I think the majority of voters do 5.4.3.2.1 (judging from all the threads I’ve recently tallied over the years).

[s'dreams]

When we play shit, and that is often enough, I often find it too hard to find a 4th and 5th vote (mind you sometimes its hard to find the 3rd)

So I tend to go 5 when we win and 3 when we play shit enough for me to threaten my keyboard with damage

Same.
Maybe having to do 5 will encourage us to look for some extra positives in losing matches.

[BenDoolan]

I get it, when we have horrendous results, it is difficult to award anything other than derision. I still find it in me to allocate votes to 5 of the 22 imposters.

Only allocating votes to 3 players out of 22 seems very narrow.

[F111]

Be discerning.

Selecting 5 is like your bride choosing 5 bridesmaids because she doesn't want to leave anyone out!

3,2,1 for me.

[boncer34]

3,2,1 is how every b&f I've ever been involved with was done.

But as we've noted it's been used because there is people that use it and converting those into 5,4,3 doesn't make sense.

[Windy_Hill]

How about this compromise

Stick with 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. The voter however has to cast Votes for at least the best three players who in turn receive 5, 4 & 3 votes respectively. This makes it easier to vote when we are shit.

[grassy1]

Even most of the players above,wouldn’t be fit to Carry the bags of players in the Shitfull 70’s!

Even Blethyn’s Horse(circa ‘72),would give ‘em a lickin’!

[BenDoolan]

Doesn’t really matter which one we select, as long as everyone who participates does exactly that.

Perhaps we should put up a voting option for voting threads going forward.

Not sure what we do with this year as we have a mix of voting patterns again...

Its not just the effort, its the consistency. Imagingne any senior player now being that consistent. Brings me to tears remembering.

Well as Benny said Zerrett has 4 R/U and 1 win. Pretty close.

Updated. Congrats Zach!
