Do you think first intended to use this poll as justification for keeping bag and tag expecting the community to lean heavily towards it staying? They were then surprised with either results leaning heavily the other way and decided to back track making it clear they weren't changing anything for 2017. Based on frank saying on fun a few months ago that bag and tag was staying saying it was a key part of Frc I found this poll a bit odd in the first place.

Frank is usually fairly careful about what he posts on blogs so I find it a little strange that he didn't mention this poll would have no effect on 2017.

So yea. Just wondering if anyone thinks this could have been what happened.
The poll has been open for less than a day. I highly doubt this is a measured response to unexpected poll numbers. It's much more likely that the poll was to gauge opinions for future seasons.

He probably didn't initially mention that the poll wouldn't effect 2017 because of the numerous times he had already announced Stop Build Day would be continuing for 2017. Just a week or so ago he even confirmed the specific time.
