Voting Rules

Polls close Tuesday January 13, 2009 at 10:00 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), which is 5:00 p.m. (EST) and 2:00 p.m. (PST).

You may vote once every 24 hours in each poll.

After voting in an individual poll you will be locked out from voting again in that poll (on the computer you voted from) for 24 hours.

Each poll has its own separate 24 hour lockout control. Voting in, for example, Best Blog will not lock you out of voting in other categories.

Vote totals are not final until certified.

Vote totals are subject to periodic correction for identified cheating.

Cheaters will be banned from accessing the site for the duration of the voting.

We reserve the right to close some or all polls earlier than the posted end date.

In the event of identified cheating, the decisions of the judges as to the manner of correction is final.
