VOTING

The World Cricket Conference has convened this conference to vote on the host nation for the 2003 WCC NATIONS LEAGUE FINALS.

- Bidding nations are allowed to vote for themselves; it'd be surprising if they didn't
- Bidding nations may also sway other members to vote for them but any monetary transactions are prohibited (vCash)
- Each member nation is allowed one vote which can not be changed once cast - non-member votes are nullified
- In case of a tie - the WCC retains the right to select any bid without any explanation or reason
- The vote will run for a total of 72 hours - once closed, the bid with the most votes will win
- Nations that don't cast a vote before the deadline will simply forfeit their vote for the tournament
- Winning majority is 13 votes - any bid receiving the winning majority will end the voting immediately

Vote now! In the poll at the top of the thread!

Less than 24 hours left - 2 more votes and Egypt seal the majority win!

Spain on the other hand, need at least 5 to make a comeback with only 7 un-cast votes left atm.

Commiserations @ahmedleo414 and @WutUpMahGlipGlops - your bid received the fewest votes and has been eliminated after round one.

Round 2 has begun and only @ahmedleo414 @WutUpMahGlipGlops @Till Valhalla and @Aislabie are allowed to vote.
Winning majority has been updated to 11 votes as FIVE nations abstained from voting in round one - forfeiting their votes for the remainder of the bidding process.

 

[A.P Haux]

Ngl I kinda freaked out seeing the polls reset while I was checking the vote count. Thought I crashed the poll or something

 

[ahmedleo414]

boooo, we will abstain from this round as a protest for being eliminated

 

[Na Maloom Afraad]

boooo, we will abstain from this round as a protest for being eliminated

Understandable, but to be clear, if you abstain, you'll be dis-counted in the final round.

Commiserations @A.P Haux @Pinch hitter & @CerealKiller - your bid received the fewest votes and has been eliminated after round two.
Round 3 has begun and only the six voters from the Bangladesh-India-Pakistan bid are allowed to vote.

Round 3 will run for 48 hours - however, the vote will immediately end once all six members have made their decision or if any bid receives 11 votes.
Only you guys can vote: @A.P Haux @Pinch hitter @CerealKiller @Manish. @Neptune @NaviN GandhI

 

[Na Maloom Afraad]

Well, dang. All eyes on @Pinch hitter.

If you vote Denmark-Finland-Norway, the vote is tied and I decide as WCC.

If you vote Niue-New Zealand, they win 11-9.
