Okay, so going forward...
The matches are there to be discussed for five days (last week it was a whole week).
There'll be a short break between matches ending and poll threads being put up.
The polls will be active for two days.
That gives a total of eight/nine days to decide on your vote. So it should be more than enough time.
Clicking "vote" only takes second. You have as long as you want after that (within reason, obviously - don't take days, please) to post your justification. Preferably do so by the time the poll ends.
The polls will remain active for two days - store threads then need to be updated and I'll need to update the draft lists, and you'll need to update your team profiles, following any purchases. The two day thing means there's a break period, which I need when I'm running the thing. I don't have time to monitor this, literally, 24/7.
Everyone should know the deal now.
