I probably should make this point in the other thread, but I'd probably be fine with including "abstain" options in polls where people really don't care one way or the other. Their abstain option would reduce the total number of teams voting, thus with one abstention, we just need a majority of 11 owners.
My problem with not having a majority of 12 is having people not paying attention/not being active. If people are paying attention enough to come to a poll and actively say "the rest of the league can decide this" then I'm fine with not requiring their vote.
P.S. Mike, I know you think it's funny, but please stop voting in our polls. I'd rather be able to quickly see if everyone has voted by looking at the total and not have to weed your your votes. Thanks.
