Well Stephen definitely elucidated the way point system works. What I meant by "You might feel two are exceptional and divide your vote between two" has been explained by Jhon penn. What it means is that the voter has say 6 points and its left to him/her what to award to which participant. He/she can award a maximum of 3 to any one and a min of 1 and divide it between 3 people maximum. Is it getting too complicated? Lemme explain. One can't give all 6 points to any one person not 1 point to six people. So you might divide your point by giving 2 points to 3 people, or 3 point to whom you think is first, 2 to second or 1 or none to anybody else. But whichever way you look at it, A.S. will have his job cut out. But I guess I can help there. My maths isn't too bad, my connection might be. Wonder where Aj(tooley) is? We need him to simplify things! :-P
