Hey thanks for tabulating. I saw that the placing in your last tabulating were a little weird. Saw that ties had placings all over the place. I took the points as they key factor but on ties put those with highest amount of votes on top and then lowest at the bottom. Only changed it up slightly but more statistically correct for the top 100.
