LaxPower Back-Up Stick

Numerous post-ers have mentioned having a FanLax Forum Poll and many have expressed an interest in being involved. The broad brushstrokes involve submitting a weekly poll (with rationale) which will be amalgamated to create a FanLax Forum Poll. All other details (e.g. How many teams, etc.) are To Be Determined. Who wants in? Post below or message me.

Current thinking:

#1 - The POST-ER POLLS be Top Tens. There will also be a "FORUM POLL" which will be an amalgamate of all the POST-ER POLLS. So each of the POST-ER POLLS will be Top Tens but the FORUM POLL (unless every Post-er Poll has the same 10 teams) will be more.
#2 - The polls will be due on Monday night and will be posted on Tuesday by noon.
#3 - We'll be posting the FORUM and POST-ER POLLS within the website with a link to a thread within the relevant Forum. (e.g. D1 Men Forum, D1 Women Forum, D3 Men Forum, etc.) Within the relevant Forum, the Post-ers who submitted Polls will have an opportunity to explain their Poll as well as to add more teams if they felt limited by the Top Ten. And, of course, all post-ers will have an opportunity to offer support, ask questions, deride and ridicule the Poll Post-ers for their weak choices, etc.

That's the thinking for now.

I am in for sure!!

So far, you and me. But there'll be more...

I created the Forum Poll Page (for the D1 Men) to collect the Polls from the individual Forum Poll Post-ers.
Take a look. I'm going to do the same for you all but wanted to pause before doing this to get feedback on this first iteration.

As shown on the page, minimum of Top 10, maximum of Top 25. All picks will contribute to the cumulative FORUM POLL with #1 picks getting the most weight, the #25 pick getting the least. Let me know if you have any thoughts, questions, etc. Otherwise, enjoy making your picks. And, of course, let me know if you want to join the fun.

For obvious and less obvious reasons, I've added Password Protection to the Poll Submission page. If you're a Forum Poll-er, message (or e-mail) me and I'll send you the password.

Polls due at midnight.

I think i sent mine too late. Damn.

You did. And, when you did, I didn't care because I was going to treat it like a Preseason Poll anyway (with so few games played) and then... I forgot. Doing it right now!

This preseason poll is a little Hooligan88 heavy. I won't do this every time (unless you want me to).

Thanks!!!!

Also, you had Howard at #4 and #5. I assumed that you meant CCBC Essex in the #5 spot since they were missing.

yea, I was rushing it. Thanks again.

Polls by midnight...

Hooligan votes with his head and heart. FanLax Computer votes with his microchip that's only programmed to judge 2020. Thus, there's a conflict between the two voters. e.g. Look at Harford. Either way, this is this week's Forum Poll.

I have a top 8 and then everyone else:

1. Harford
2. Nassau
3. Howard
4. Genesee
5. AACC
6. Essex
7. Onondaga
8. Monroe
