*Voting Bias - S26 ISFL Edition - Modern_Duke - 01-15-2021 Time for what has turned into a new annual tradition, the study of the bias of awards voters. This year was looking a little trickier due to the voting reform that passed last offseason, but I was luckily provided the ranked voting results from a friendly local goose. So this will continue to work the same way it has previously. I.e. if Player X finished 3rd in their positional award, but their GMs voted them as 1st, the GMs get a -2. If they instead left them out of their top three, they get +1, etc. Then I calculate the average of all the scores to get a final number. So if your score is -0.5, you voted the players in question 0.5 spots higher than they finished on average. DSFL results to follow soon after.

He had an incredible season and was nominated for not only rookie of the year, but also rb of the year. RE: Voting Bias - S26 ISFL Edition - zaynzk - 01-15-2021 New York Unbiased RE: Voting Bias - S26 ISFL Edition - ztarwarz - 01-15-2021 As I said, Rotchburns SHOULD have won OROTY. The fact I was higher than him was dumb, he easily had a better season.
