Subject: RE:2003 Hall of Fame Election - 6 DAYS REMAINING>Has the administrator ever considered some type of "run-off" election
>between the top 4 or 5 "vote getters?"The administrator gave a lot of thought to the best procedures for
the HOF elections, before presenting them to the Administrative Committee
and receiving their approval for the process we are using.Suggestions for improving the process will be given due consideration,
but I'm not anxious to deviate from the announced procedures.
OK, here's one suggestion: after the voting is closed hold another election
where we are allowed to vote for as many candidates as we wish.
Current format is more like an MVP award vs HOF where more than one candidate
can ascend the podium on an equal basis.
Would also suggest delisting Jeff Compton. As the voting now stands, he is no
threat to overtake the leaders. We all owe him a lot due to his expertise on
slot clubs with the emphasis put on "slot clubs". However, consider the
scenario where Jeff is the landslide vote-getter on the HOF voting. This would be a
slap in the face to the people who have real VP expertise.
I'm basing my knowledge on Jeff's lack of expertise on the book by his good
friend, Bob Dancer. In it, he refers to Jeff's initial lack of knowledge of
strategy & dislike of playing vp for long hours. What he knows about vp comes
from others & I assume most of it was from Dancer.
Now if we had a slot club HOF, I would vote for Jeff for #1. But our HOF says
"vp" in front of it.
An observation: earlier posts said that Dancer was in the lead by a wide
margin. When I first checked today, I saw that Paymar was leading the pack. Since
we're able to see the results after voting & change votes until the last
minute, I wonder how many votes for Paymar were actually votes against "Dancer".
Another suggested change would be to not show results until polls are closed &
you can't change your votes.
BTW, I voted for John Kelly but wanted to vote for several more.
