Ballots and Award Distribution

Post by Warlike Swans »

As much as it was a good idea having a voting sheet that is separate from the video information, the voting sheet this year was not easy to use, especially in the dark. The video title, at the very least should make it onto the space where people vote.

In previous years Anime Boston made it a point to try to avoid videos winning multiple awards and this year that policy only seemed to apply separating Best in Show from its category award. The phrasing of it in the rules was imprecise, but it led to an expectation that wasn't met. I'd like to see that policy reinstated.

Actually, the only policy was that BiS gave up category. There's also the unwritten rule that the 3 judged awards go to 3 separate videos. They're all chosen ahead of time and don't interact with the voted awards or editor's choice.
