This runs into the problem of the limit of pics you are allowed to post at one time. I think it is 20. The other problem is tldr and short attention spans. I will guess that a poll with 25 choices will get less engagement than three polls with 8 choices. I could also be very wrong about that.@davislane - just a suggestion. Just run one poll by pattern/combination of patterns as opposed to QF/SF/Final format. If 20 chips get nominated, I’d ask people to vote for their top 3, 30 top 5 etc etc. That way we end up avoiding outliers results like Bella Union and Magaritaville in a SF for best $1 and PCA secondary $100 for favorite black chip (edit: or at least I think this would help minimizing bias)
If you don’t like a chip, that does not make it an “outlier”. Bella and Marysville earned more votes than some very good chips in order to move forward.
Ah, one more thing. Don’t let people change their votes, and don’t let people see results without voting first. There would be a lot of bias of you did. Some people like underdogs, and others get validation from agreeing with others.
I think almost all of the bias in these polls comes from two things. If people own or have owned the chips is a big one, and picture quality is the other.
