I totally missed the point where icopress said the voting system is based on the IRV.
Using this system is totally fine, yet it should be clear to everyone, and based on an “official” statement by contest organiser(s), rather than speculation.
Hover over "voting" and you will see instant-runoff being mentioned. But yeah, maybe it could have been actually mentioned and not kinda hidden as there might be more like you that missed it.
For the
voting system to work, any nominated pizza must have the support of at least three users.
The fun part is that I even quoted the OP looking for this kind of stuff, but I missed that “hidden” code.
Yes, I think you are right. This should be amended asap and made clear to everyone.
Based on how people are voting and how the pizzas are presented (in sequential order from 1, 2, 3…), someone can easily miss this point. Voting in order matters, and when scrolling from 1 to 112, you will automatically choose 5 pizzas in ascending order.
I agree that this needs to be highlighted more prominently, or something like this might help.
