Firstly, If I am not online to post the winner, then voting can continue.

Secondly, declaring voting closed at 5 votes would mean disregarding all the other votes cast in after 5, which would be grossly unfair to an entrant trying to make a comeback.

Thirdly, everybody and anybody cannot be online here in HDC 24/7 just to vote in my tournaments. People work through the day, return to home in the evenings, relax, freshen up...or do other stuff and then into HDC and the tournament. In the interest of fairness, all votes cast in a particular match count.

The guideline "First to 5 or 6 or 7..." is for me to see if by the time I m back there's 5 votes cast for a clear winner to emerge. If thats the case, I do it. (Just a little side note here...The Brood is one of my all-time favs, but when I came online The Other had reached 5 votes, end of match)
