2011-12 Pre-/Early Season Poll: Congrats to Hunter A!

[Frater Taciturnus]

As we kick off the new high school year and season, I will put out the request that I know people have been waiting for: give me your top 25 in order, 1 to 25. Teams will get 25 points for a 1st place vote, 24 for 2nd, and so on. Please indicate the state of the school when including them.

Email them to me at [email protected]. Please include hsquizbowl Top 25 in the subject of your email.

Your ballots will be posted alongside your actual name. Ballots that are bad will be rejected; if I have enough time, I'll prompt you for reasoning and what not.

Remember that the poll is intended for a general ranking of how good teams are. You should consider the team's best possible performance, as if all players were available for play. B teams are eligible to be ranked.

If I believe you have neglected to list a team that has a good argument for being in the top 25, I will alert you to this, with reasoning. If you disagree with my reasoning, just tell me so and why; if you agree, feel free to modify your ballot. (Ballots can be modified up until polling is closed for whatever reason)

POLLS WILL CLOSE AT MIDNIGHT WEDNESDAY MORNING SEPTEMBER 14th

Just wondering if this happened on schedule.

I apologize. I have had severely limited access recently, but will compile and post whatever ballots I have received sometime this Monday afternoon.
