Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 7, 2021, 11:39 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Winning matters early on but also didn't want to severely punish extremely talented teams due to a tough 1st game (i.e. if you are over the blue-chip ratio and lost to a top 3 team...you are still a top 10 team after only 1 game).
