This would be fun. Remember - Ward Melville will win fossils.

Be patient, as elusive as a certain programmer is, he has it all set up to do again.

I would suggest eliminating the limit of how many times one may pick a certain team. We should just try to be as accurate as possible. Alternatively, for a more challenging twist, perhaps we could set a limit of picking a team once. 3 just seems too arbitrary.

And what, pray ask, makes setting the limit at 1 any less arbitrary? :P

I don't know. One just seems more appropriate than three. :)

So when we view the votes, what does it show? The number of votes we have for winning the event, or the place we are expected to get?
