Voting will be determined by replying to each candidate with your "+1", "+2", or "+3" vote for your top, second and third choices respectively. The +2 and +3 can really be useful to figure out if a runoff is even needed if two votes are close, as well determining if a second prospect can be placed on the list at one time
PLEASE ALSO DON'T FORGET TO VOTE ON THE RUNOFF BETWEEN TRISTON MCKENZIE (SP-CLE) & MACKENZIE GORE (SP-SD):
For purposes of this exercise and also because he is still unsigned, Shohei Otani will NOT be on the ballot. If he were to sign, we will consider running a separate vote to slot him into the list
Each round will be open for 24-36 hours with 1 to 2 prospects being chosen after round, depending on votes. Runoffs will typically be the same window and will always be set up as a vote btw only two prospects
We will adhere to the industry standard of 130 AB or 50 IP to determine prospect eligibility
