  1. Question—we have a group of 4 that is all together and voting at the same time because we felt like it wasn’t counting our votes. We each click one after another. 3 different times of doing this, somehow the person we are voting for LOSES percentage. I can’t believe that in the course of 3 seconds that more than 4 people are voting for the other guy. Is there a way to put up the actual number of votes for each person like you did for Luca Berger’s 2nd round? Thank you SO much for doing all this. The players love it, but it is also totally entertaining to all of us. We are more obsessed with this bracket than any March Madness Bball! So appreciated!!

    1. Thanks Jennifer. It may be that there is lag time counting the votes. I’ll have to ask our the people over at our third-party app that have the polling software we use to tabulate the votes.

      1. That same exact thing is happening with our player. I vote and then my husband votes a minute later and our players percentage actually decreases. We would also like to see the vote count like on Lucas in a previous round if possible.

          1. Oh thank you! I just meant seeing the actual votes for all of them as we voted rather than just the percentages…thank you for doing all of this…so fun and quite the undertaking!!

  3. We are still struggling to get votes counted. We’ve cleared history, turned device off/on and still can’t get vote to take. It’s very frustrating.

    1. Sue, I totally hear you. We’ll see what we can do. We use a third-party app for the poll counting and to prevent over-voting
