EatFeats top 25 poll to start
An inactive form for an IFOCE ranking poll has been set up at http://eatfeats.com/rankings.php The choices consists of all of the current IFOCE top 50 who have a result in the past year, Sean Gordon, RJ Frasca, Yasir Salem, Bryan Beard, Pat Bruss, Matt Ventre, Mongo Marquez, Pete Miernicki, Bruce “the Hangman” Pobanz and Steven Ramirez II.
If you think someone who has a contest result from the past year should be added to the poll choices, comment or email and he or she will be added. (If you would like to be removed, that request will also be accomodated)
The poll will start accepting votes in a day or two. I would like to do a non-IFOCE poll and eventually a unified poll.
