Almost everyone who looked at this system prior to it’s launch commented that it would be great to add all the votes at the same time. And you know what… I agree

…but there’s a reason for our perceived madness.

If we were to design a form to capture votes and have say, a dropdown field listing players who got themselves 3 votes, another dropdown for 2 votes and so on, then we’d actually end up with votes and players across say 6 columns. Also you’d have to update the players listed in the dropdown three times!

“So what?” I can hear you say.

Well, here’s the thing, the 3-2-1 voting system captures all the names in one column and the votes in another column.

“So what?” I can hear you say.

Well, the difference is at the end of the season when it’s time to tally the votes.
