GROUP A Results:
We moved from the rapid clicking method to the “Back to Vote” method this season/year to try and prevent cheating. We do interactive fan voting to make things fun for the fans as you support your favorite coach in the poll. We want everyone to be able to vote as much as they want, but cheating takes away from the fun. Don’t do anything to risk your coach being disqualified. It is not fair to them, and it is not fair to the fan bases that are voting fairly and giving it all they have. With that said, voting will be monitored closely for any irregularities. Anyone suspected of bot usage or suspicious voting will be blocked and votes from that IP address will be removed from the poll. We expect everyone to vote with good sportsmanship, always.
