    Only 170 people voted for 370 players to
    rank 32+32 of them as gamblegammon
    giants? I didn't know that the "incestious
    circle" was that small... :)

    It says "Player profiles and statistics on
    the number of ballots per player, the
    number of first-place votes, and total
    points per player will be revealed". I can't
    wait see it (if they make it public).

    I wonder if they'll reveal if the candidates
    could vote for themselves or one another
    and how many of those 370 were among
    the the 170...?

    The information is published in PrimeTime magazine, which is where
    I found out about the Giants list.

    If I recall correctly, the tradition is that you're supposed to
    vote for yourself as #2 Giant.
