i agree with kev,

i am happy with my bike, have had fun keeping up with what everyone has been working on, and have met some cool people...
i just like being on here, shooting the flip, sharing ideas, and talking with everyone...

everyone wins...
 
I just upped the maximum poll options to 60 so I'm thinking we may be able to set up a big honkin' poll so that members can vote for the bike they like.

If I'm not mistaken, it will only let each member vote one time.

The trick will be using the correct name for each bike in the poll so that folks can reference them in the finished bike thread.

ok,now I understand what your saying..
In the Finished bikes thread we have right now,
the Builders Name is the "Main Stay" and most recognisable thing.

We could have people vote by ticking off the name
of the BUILDER..not the name of the Bike.

If people are confused they can refer to the RRBBO thread for
corresponding Members names / Build name

Just my 2 cents..
 
I agree with Joe, please publish the final prize and judging rules.

I think we should be able to vote for 2 or 3 bikes/builders. I do not know if i could choose just one. Under a single vote system, there will be wide descrepancy between 1st, 2nd, 3rd places and no votes for others. A multi vote system would not probably not affect the top 3 places, but bring the rest of the pack closer.

Just my .02
 
I've never been in, or voted in, a Build off before.
This is all "Greek" to me.

but now that I see Cman's and Joe's comment,
I guess I would like to vote for a few.

a first,
a second,
and a third.

I know ,myself ,it's going to be tough picking my Favourite one!

As far as a Tie goes...well,
maybe an online Game of Pong

click the link above for a Tie Breaker.. :mrgreen:
:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
 
if everyone gets 1 vote, and everyone votes for themselves, then what?

30 way tie?

that's a lot of online pong....
 
Yes it will be hard to choose just one.
I doubt the 1st 2nd 3rd choice could be done in the poll unless you ran 3 separate polls.
The easiest way would be to give someone (dumpster or ratrod) one extra vote. They may not want that responsibility though.


Right now I count 10 prizes 4 of them shirts.
Give 2nd and 3rd a shirt and 1st everyting else?
 
How about This...

(1) ...Rat Rod does the Vote Counting.

(2)....Only Rat Rod Bikes registered member ( 200 plus ) can vote.
and they all get only ONE vote.

(3)..we, the people in The RRBBO all get ONE VOTE that we will send to
Rat Rod...and we CAN NOT vote for ourselves.

that way we( build off contestants ) have to vote for
another bike besides our own...and the bulk of the deciding votes will be left to The Rest of The Forum members..

this might make it fair for all...then we,the builders have to act as
Judges as well.

just a thought....
Kev.
 
If I set up the poll then anyone who is a member of the forum gets one vote. The forum shuts off the ability to vote again if you have voted once. It will also display the amount of votes per poll option.

If I see a sudden surge in subscriptions once voting has started then I'll know something is up. :roll:

As far as 1st, 2nd and 3rd goes....some of yall who have donated prizes may want to designate yours to a particular class. Seems like we have plenty of donations to go around.

I like the idea of not being able to vote for your own bike.
 
I also agree with not voting on your own bike. As far as my donated prize, you can do whatever you see fit with it Rat Rod :D
 
me too..
I gave my prizes to the Prize God's
they are for someone else to decide their goings..

Maybe the winner can have first pic of 2 Prizes..
and the rest can go to,
second,
third,
forth....etc..until they are gone...

for example,The First Place guy get's 2 prizes of his choice.
Then the second gets his pick of one
...then third picks one
....all the way until no prizes are left.

The more prizes in the pot....
The more people "place", and get a prize.


Ideally every Builder should have to Put forth a Prize as an Entry Fee..
then we all have fun,learn and win!
In that case the ultimate prize would be the First Place Trophy,

and every other builder who has put forth his Blood sweat and tears
comes out with a Cool Prize( like a Shirt from a Foreign Bike Shop )

am I making any sense here?
just my 2 cents..
