But we're only allowed one vote per poll. So, for example, I cannot have a choice of 5 for the US from the list provided. I'd be happy to confirm my vote in a post if need be.

[David Horne]

It's simple Steve. Vote for 1 from each group. After a week the top 5 in the U.S. will be on the commitee, etc.

[danegarreau]

IMO, any of these guys will make a great representitive for the US.

[David Horne]

Dane,

You are quite right. Hence the need for a vote to pick. I would expect that this will be done yearly, but this will be one of the many things the commitee will vote on.

David

[supermagnamon]

It's hard to make a pick here.

[David Horne]

Keep voting.

[mobsterone]

C'mon - 4000 members, mostly US based and only 91 votes? Show us what yer made off and get voting!!

[Rick Walker]

It wasnt hard for me.

The biggest and best contests, with the most prizes, best competition, etc. have come from Jedd and Smitty. Who better???

[mobsterone]

I second that (and did by voting) but Bob is a well organied guy with his site etc. The voting seems to be reflecting this. But if you - the voters - feel differently you need to click and get your vote noted.

[AP]

I picked Wade, he's got the grip chops (and then some!) plus he's got some good connections outside of this board that could help the sport grow. But there are some tough names up there, Jedd & Smitty, Richard Sorin, Chris Rice (Climber) sure knows his stuff too, and Bob has run 4 grip comps now.

Vote!

[danegarreau]

Whoever wins they will be well qualified.

When does the voting end?

[EricMilfeld]

For the record, Smitty got my vote.

[Mikael Siversson]

For the record, Smitty got my vote.

...and you got mine...

...calibration of the weights well in advance of your competition impressed me...

[David Horne]

Voting ends on Friday the 17th.

[Dan Cenidoza]

Jedd & Smitty's votes should be combined. They are a team, or a Crew, afterall.

[Mikael Siversson]

Jedd & Smitty's votes should be combined. They are a team, or a Crew, afterall.

I would disagree. They have been democratically elected. They should not be penalised for the fact that they know each other well.

[Dan Cenidoza]

My rationale is based on what 'they' have done in the grip community. I'm sure they'll work together if either one of them is elected, I hear what you're saying, but spreading the votes out between the two is what penalizes them, IMO.
