It's May 8th and the voting period has officially begun.
As dictated by prior 'Institution Building' votes the process will consist of _TWO_ Ballot phases. This first phase will determine nomination for a Final Ballot. The second phase will determine CotG HOF Induction.
To accommodate those wishing to participate by way of 'Closed Ballot'...every board member has been PM'd a copy of the voting slate by which they may cast their vote by way of a simple return PM to me. Voters can also participate by way of 'Open Ballot' in the various Voting Block threads. Please do not do both!
To recap the following issues were determined by way of majority vote:
i. Only those wrestlers who have been retired for a period of five years or more are eligible for consideration
ii. The voting threshold for affirmation has been set at 75%
iii Each Ballot Block will allow for a maximum of 37% Affirmative Votes. While voters _ARE NOT REQUIRED_ to max out any of their ballots...everyone is limited to work with-in that percentage. The total number of outright affirmative votes allow is clearly denoted at the top of each Ballot Block. Please do not exceed it.
iv. Criteria for worthiness is dictated by the unique experiences of each promoter and not deterred by any 'official' game play barriers
* The issue of Separate Wings was affirmed...and will be addressed at some point in the future.
With the ideal in mind of providing all members of the community a generous opportunity to participate...voting for this first phase will remain open for a period of one month. If you know of someone who may not be actively visiting the board but may still have an interest in participating...then please 'be a helper' and reach out to them. Inform others about both the open and closed voting modes of participation and let them know they are invited and encouraged to become a part of the process.
To ensure confidence and integrity in the vote counting system...board members Paul Phillips, Goodzilla and Dragonbreath will be given direct access to all closed ballot submissions. All privately submitted ballots will remain private beyond a simple counting calculation.
Note that we are working strictly on the 'honor system'. Every board member account has been sent a ballot. If for whatever reason you have more than one registered account on this board...please do not vote twice.
If you are not adequately familiar with the candidates in a particular voting block then please abstain from participating in that particular voting block. Use your best judgment.
Please note that all ballot casting is a ONE TIME affair. Take as much time as you may need with-in the one month period to determine your votes...but do not 'edit' open ballots or submit changes to closed ballots. Chose wisely....but only chose once!
------------------------------------------------------
The voting period officially ends at the close of Friday June 8th. Please do not submit any Open or Closed Ballots for this Final Ballot Phase on June 9th or later...they would not be counted.
