Posters' Poll

[Mr. Ypsi]

I'm predicting at least three orphans for me this week and perhaps double digit outliers.

With 7 ballots in, you're sitting currently with 3 orphans (and one more picked by only 1 other), though I suspect you'll end with only one orphan.  Other than orphans (who knows whether they are double-digit outliers?!), you have no outliers in double-digits (though your #15 team is so far an orphan, so that would definitely be double-digits if no one else names them).

I meant not how far an outlier, but how many teams for which my vote is singularly high or low.

Ah, got it.  You may be right - a quick scan shows FIFTEEN outliers after 8 ballots (though several by only a slot or two, so that will probably go down a bit).  Your nickname appears safe!

You are down to only two orphans, however.  Ballot #8 had your #15, and I strongly suspect someone will soon name your #23 (I had 'em about 27 or 28).  My hunch is that your #24 is to remain an orphan.

Wait, you mean the #25 isn't an orphan?  I knew I should have gone with SUNYIT.

SUNYIT might lose to UDallas in the NEAC Semis on Saturday.

Submitted my poll for this week.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Barely two hours to go, and still only NINE ballots!  C'mon you other six voters!

[Gregory Sager]

Chill, Chuck. Mine's almost ready.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Hey, nagging DOES work!   Within 15 minutes I received a 'sorry, can't this week', a ballot, and a promise of a ballot!  That leaves 3 voters unknown.

[Gregory Sager]

Mine's in.

[scout]

Mine's in.

[Mr. Ypsi]

We now have 12 ballots (and one voter known to be out this week); that leaves two unknown.  Any more ballots coming?

[Mr. Ypsi]

The voter 'known to be out' has come through with our record-tying 13th ballot after all!  Perhaps his heroic sacrifice (though he asked not to be named as his boss might not see it that way! ) will inspire frodotwo or Point Special to submit the record breaker!

[Mr. Ypsi]

Well, no word either way so far - I'll give 15 more minutes before beginning to type the results.  A new all-time record sure would be nice!

[John Gleich]

Well, no word either way so far - I'll give 15 more minutes before beginning to type the results.  A new all-time record sure would be nice!

I'll put forth a final ballot, but work's just way too hectic right now for me to do anything else.

[Mr. Ypsi]

We tied the record, but I really hoped we could break it.

Two orphans and seven outlier, much more conformity than I expected.
