Any update on voting @Theokritos?

Any update on voting @Theokritos?

12 ballots now. But I'm running on CET and it's 23:35 PM here, so won't be tallying before tomorrow by North American time.

 

[Habsfan18]

Will be voting tonight.

 

[tony d]

So we’ve past the Tuesday voting deadline, is there an update on voting, @Theokritos?

 

[Theokritos]

Still at 12 ballots. So almost half of the participants have not submitted a ballot.

 

[tony d]

I have no authority to decide when we move on but Tuesday was the deadline so eventually a decision will have to be made.

I'll send out PMs to those GMs still in the race who have voted the last time but not this time. Votes will be tallied Friday so that the playoffs can move to the next round this coming weekend.

 

[tony d]

Sounds good

 

[Habsfan18]

Voted.

[Dr Pepper]

Thank you for keeping tabs on all this, @Theokritos

Congrats on the series win, @Sturminator!

 

[ChiTownPhilly]

Congratulations- GG @Claude The Fraud . Good luck moving forward.

Also (now that I can pass out the compliment without any hint of an ulterior motive), the extra service performed by @tony d , facilitating communication even after his team was eliminated, is something that deserves a reward.

I have some ideas...

 

[VanIslander]

1. The NHL has plenty of upsets regularly.
2. The ATD has few upsets and it's rare.
3. Regular season stat talk in the playoffs far outweighs clutch game, long successful playoff careers.

Glenn Anderson < Sweeney Schriner, eh?

In the playoofs,...

 

[tony d]

Coming up on 2 weeks since the last round began. Is it time to discuss when we begin voting?

This one's going to limp across the finish line, by the looks of it.

Looks like it. I think we should just keep moving it along.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Yep.

Up to whoever wants to tab the votes, if @Theokritos feels up to it again, then maybe a quicker turnaround for the next round.

 

[Theokritos]

Sure. How about a Monday (May 15th), 12 PM (EST) deadline?

 

[tony d]

sounds good. I can send out reminder notices again as well.

Please do that.

 

[tony d]

Will send them out this evening

 

[Hitru]

I voted. Sorry for missing out in last round, had some real life stuff to take care of.

 

[tony d]

Good stuff. Notices were sent out last night. I’ll be voting tomorrow
