Yeah not going to lie the private message thing was pretty brutal. Filling out the template on mobile takes a good amount of effort. I also think ranked choice may discourage some from voting since people may not know each of the choices very well.
Thanks for hosting again this year and trying things out though.
Yeah I wondered about that too. I left out the ones I didn’t watch from my voting list, but that feels a little unfair
Yeah…it won’t be private messages next year for sure. Lesson learned!
