I'm confused about a couple of things.

In both So Cal and Phoenix, if I remember right, the ballot wasn't in the registration packet. In So Cal I asked for the ballot and suggested we get them passed out to all teams, but was told if they need one they'll come up and ask for one. If I had pursued making sure each team had a ballot, they probably hadn't perused the webs ahead of time (as our team member had) to make his decision, and all the teams receiving the ballot last minute at regionals may not even peruse webs at the regional, and voted for whatever - not what I would have wanted.

In AZ the ballot was the ballot off this document page 27

In So Cal the ballot handed out was page 29.

Our team plans to bring these issues up at the team forums after competitions.
