I agree with Larthak, changes made for the sake of changing arent normally viewed as a good thing.

I didn't say anything about making the change for the sake of change! Can you and Larthak please stop trying to poke me with this. I even asked if there was any other discussion on the subject, and also brought arguments of why it is bad and doesn't work. I also asked what the reasoning behind it was, and I've yet to hear anyone do anything more then avoid the question.

A broken clock is right 2 times a day, so why fix it right?
Well, "is harder for the counters" the only problem you all have? (not sarcasm)

Hint 1: there's almost always 3 people competing for 1st.
Hint 2: we have so-called "ninja voting"

What do you mean? What's wrong with "the now"? For all we know the contest will run for many more years; no reason not to fix it. This entire phase takes a good chunk of the schedule too and is arguably just as important as everything else. If there's a pothole in the road do you think there's some time frame after which it's illegal to fix it? I don't understand.

Electoral what? But anyway, name those flaws (and how the current system in SotM doesn't have them). I've yet to hear any good non-subjective reason behind choosing 3; given that's really the only difference.

There's a reason why some people here are called "contest organizers".
