East Region Fan Poll

[pg04]

Sorry, I didn't see this!!    Good luck to the AUKaz00 in running the poll! I had a fun time, but I've certainly learned this week that my new endeavor is going to take a lot of my time.  (Not that this takes up a whole lot of time but it deserves someone that can focus on it). 

[AUKaz00]

I indeed will continue the tradition of the ERFP now that pg04 has stepped down.  Basically, Pep needed something to include in the Alfred Sun each week, so he twisted my arm.  As such, I'll post the poll each Monday afternoon with or without all submissions so Pep can have it before deadline.  So, polls will be due  in to me by noon on Monday.

We'll start with the final pollsters from last year who can work within that timeline and since there seem to be other posters who would like to have a spot in the poll, I'll institute a 3 strikes policy.  I'll try to fill any vacancy with a poster from an under-represented conference.  I'll try to fill any openings with a willing and active poster with preference to someone from the least represented conference in our poll, if possible.

Let me know if these guidelines seem out of place, since this exercise should be fun and informative for us all, but it's frustrating when a poll has to come out short of votes.

I've done it int he past and would definitely take part if you need me.  Just let me know.

I am good to reup my "membership" too.

[AUKaz00]

Okay, I've gotten responses from 6 returning pollsters so far (all E6 and LL) and I'll keep the spots open to incumbents if they let me know.  PG seems to be bowing out, so we will have one opening and I want to fill it with a poster from the MAC, NJAC, NEFC or the ECFC.  There may be another opening or two, so send me a PM if you're interested and fit that criteria.

I'd like to get our first poll out this Monday, 8/30 so we can have preseason rankings and get it into next week's Sun.

I am pretty sure either JT or rams/xreddragon represented the NJAC in the past, PBR covererd the MAC and noolinenoglory was our NEFC rep.

As an aside, do we need 6 E8 and LL guys?  Could be get by with 1 or 2 from each league?

AU,

When do you want the Preseason ballot by?

[AUKaz00]

I agree and that's why I want to cap them at 3 for now.  The fact is that the LL and E6 posters are the most active and since everyone is generally fair it isn't a huge problem.  If we get overwhelmed with requests from posters from the other leagues then we may need to do some kind of lottery in the future, but for now I want to make sure we have a poll.

Which brings me to:

When do you want the Preseason ballot by?

[Insert poll/kazoo joke here] to me by noon on Monday.  I'll post the preseason rankings Monday afternoon.

[AUKaz00]

We now have 8 participants, all from three conferences (E8, LL & NJAC) so this is an open invitation from posters in the MAC, NEFC and ECFC to fill the last two openings.  If there is not interest by Sunday, then I'll open up those slots to members of the represented conferences, just not two reps who support the same school.  Send me a PM if you're interested and I'll get back to you so we can produce our preseason poll on Monday.

This is something I tried to do for 3 years.  It's not an easy task.  Outside of the E8 and LL there is little participation on these boards as a whole. And those in the NJAC and MAC have always either not answered my pleas or said no.

I'm in.  Are you going to participate in the NJAC Pick-E'M contest this year?

I think so.  Although In previous years I've been very forgetful

As a top 25 voter, I have abstained from the East region poll.  Although I do read the posts and take the all region polls and posts into account when I vote.
