RegionalBias Ballot for 2025 Preseason
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Aug. 15, 2025, 5:45 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Switching back to human. Play good teams, win points. Play jokes, lose points. I do a carryover effect from last year for the first many weeks, but by midyear everything is down to "how do you look, and how did you play"
