Ballot Type: Hybrid

Submitted: Nov. 9, 2026, 9:13 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Ballot now accounts in 5 tiers of team/gamess: Untiered, over .500, top 45, top 27, top 13. The latter three work roughly as percentiles of 66th, 80th, and 90th in case somebody is here and thinks it's confusing that I didn't use clean numbers like 10,-25-50.
