ESB Official Voting Thread -- Post Rankings Here!

Lampley · Oct 6, 2007

Here we are! After weeks of preparation, it's finally time to conduct voting for the first-ever Official ESB Rankings. Thanks to everyone who nominated posters for the voting committee, and of course thanks tremendously to the voters themselves.

Voters: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS VERY CAREFULLY!

This month's vote is a two-pronged process. First are the votes themselves.

1) To fill out your ballot, please list the fighters in descending order, starting with Pound-for-Pound rankings and then proceeding in descending order. So, it's Pound of Pound, Heavyweight, Cruiserweight, etc.

2) Also, please remember to vote for top 10 for Pound for Pound and all divisions down to Bantamweight (118 pounds). For divisions lower than that, please vote for 5 fighters.

3) You DO NOT have to fill out every slot. Vote for as many divisions and as many fighters as you feel comfortable, but don't feel obligated to fill out all 10 (or 5) for every division.

4) Champions. This is important, and unique to this month. If you believe there is a Champion for a division, identify that fighter as your Champion and then rank up to 10 top contenders.

5) Format. Please pay very close attention to this one. Scoring this thing is a monster, and I have created a spreadsheet that will help ONLY if everyone follows directions. When ranking each division and Pound for Pound (remember that PfP goes first and you move down in weight from there), please stack the fighters on top of each other and do not use any numbers. I'm going to copy and paste your selections.

Here's an example how it should look:

Welterweight:

Fighter A
Fighter B
Fighter C
…..

Please do not use this:

1) Fighter A
2) Fighter B

If you are voting for a Champion, please list it like this:

Welterweight:

Champion -- Fighter F

Fighter L
Fighter M
Fighter M
(and so on up to 10)

Please do not use numbers!!!

Part 2 of this month's vote:

The following individuals have applied for admission into the official voting committee:

emanuel_augustus
Calabrese
BewareofDawg
diamondDave
Tom_Tocca
Brickhaus
Pimp C
Dekkers
Jack Presscot

Please send a simple Yes or No answer to two email address:
This content is protected
(Lampley) and
This content is protected
(kg0208.

Part 3 would be any special issues, but there are none of those this month.

You have through Monday morning at 8:00am United States EST to vote, but obviously after the Saturday fights, you shouldn't need to wait. I'll try to turn the scoring around in a few days.

Thanks! Also, all ESB posters are welcome to offer their feedback and to praise or criticize the various selections. That's part of the fun.

Excellent! Good start. And thank you. My life will be much easier this way. It's a lot of information to manage.

It's nice of you to devote the time to it. The least we can do is put it in a format that makes it convenient for you to work with.

Hope my ratings are at least a reasonable reflection of reality. I tried to research it a bit where I was unsure, to make it as "accurate" as possible.
