OK well we avoided it this month thanks to a last minute vote, but I don't like the idea of a joint winner when we have a voting system that more or less amounts to proportional representation
I'm happy to go with whatever the consensus of people on the site is so if loads of people think a joint winner is better than we'll do that but -
I'd like to propose the following in the event that a tie happens. If there's no outcry of opposition then this is what I'll do if it ever comes up. I'll award the winner according the following criteria in the following order
1) Total score, or if tied then
2) Number of votes for 1st place, or if tied then
3) Total number of votes, of if tied then
4) Fisticuffs in the car park
My rough calculations indicate that the chances of ever having to resort to number 4 are roughly a million to one which is why I didn't spend much time thinking about it
What do people think?
