Overcrowding the ballot splits the votes and no one wins

By Tangotiger

As if the balloting process for players isn’t enough of a problem, it seems that the process for managers also has the same issues.

We were already aware of how it’s silly to limit the number of people you can vote for (something like you can vote up to 4 of a ballot that has more than 10 well-qualified people) AND make those people meet a minimum threshold (75% or something).

Is it so hard to get experts in ballot-making?
