September 2022 Player of the Month Vote

35 votes is exactly par for the course. Jury is out on whether 3 days added anything to 1 day - it drew the same / similar number of votes out over a longer period; I will dwell and decide if we use 1, 2 or 3 days next month (but I wont be making it longer than 3 days).

Either way, thanks to all who voted, thanks to all who commented (appreciated) and a big thanks to JohnyAitch (feels like my alter ego) (JonH) for supporting and prompting during the process!

one of the improvements this month is that, for me at least , it felt less frantic. The one day polls tended to get me more stressed, whether that was the timing limit or that I tried to push participation too much. Backing off on time and being less pushy probably made it better for me and I have no doubt improved it for everyone out there also!

I am going to dwell on whether it will be 3 days next time or maybe 2, but whichever it is, it won't be 1 day and it wont be 1 week either!

I'd suggest two days, but with a closing time early on the third morning - after all you are often online first thing anyway.

Indeed, that might work well. I tend to be online for a few early work emails and general diary catch up over a cuppa so do tend to log in and take a look at that time, so running a poll from say Sunday night (as generally is the case now) through to say Wednesday first thing would be easy enough to do.

Do what suits you. I personally am not adverse to you putting 1 reminder in the most used tournament thread of that particular week either just no spamming:)

As emmsie says, whatever suits you best for that month, Jon

Me, I quite like the longer version - a bit less frantic - but, really, it's your baby, and you're really good to do it, so whatever fits with you best, and it doesn't have to be cast in stone, either.
