Well it is all nice and public. You should get Iamthatjack to count through them too and then compare notes after to make sure you both got the right numbers. (note I am not volunteering myself lol)

Easiest way is probably to take a set amount of pages each but we'll see how it's looking come next Saturday.

Happy to help out with the counting if its needed Scotsman

I only joined this year so not voted before. Seems a fun thing to do. I am sure from the posters that people will have strong views and preferences. Is anything similar done for the daytime ladies? Sorry if this has been asked before.

Yeah there'll be a daytime contest once the night time one has finished and the two winners will face off in a 'supercup'.

I've got a question regarding what happens if there's a tie after all the votes have been counted. Is there going to be some kind of countback system where you look to see which girl has the most first place nominations, or is there something else in place?
Also, when the seedings are done for the knockout stage, is it going to be done by matching 1st v 16th, 2nd v 15th etc etc? Or will there be a Champions League style draw where the 1-8 girls are seeded, and will be drawn randomly against the 9-16 girls?

In the event of a tie, I guess first place votes count double or something. Or if they don't have any first place votes, second place counts double or so on.

The knockout stage I was going to do 1st vs. 16th and so on. I could do it more random but then there'd be the inevitable conspiracy theorists who'd think it was set against certain babes like they thought last year.

That knockout stage plan is fairest as much as anything because the seed numbers match up in both halves of the draw equalling 68. Top half with seeds 1,4,5,8,9,12,13,16 = 68 total. Bottom half 2,3,6,7,10,11,14,15 = 68 total.

I'm surprised that quite a few of the voters have only 1 or a handful of posts (welcome to the forum, join in anytime). Making lists seems to be pretty tempting.

Well Scotsman, I have got through 12 pages worth of scores so far, its tiring but interesting leaderboard is emerging with a dominant half dozen at the top and an engrossing struggle being played out elsewhere. Will resume counting tomorrow but obviously will not name names at the leaderboard summit. A fascinating tournament in prospect I think though.

Snookered you tease! hehe Ok I REALLY want to see the full list after the whole competition is done or something. Bet the lower half battles are amazing.

Just looked up the tournament last year. In the first round last year, with the group system voting in place, with only two days voting (?), there was a total of 85 posts (not all votes, some comments, thread on page 9 of this section). So far this year we already have 182 posts and only two days in.

The sheer number of babes nominated is huge. Its going to be a very long and protracted count.
