Depending on the number of teams in the HSWC, the entries may be divided to make them more manageable for participants. If that occurs, teams will be split into divisions, and participants will be expected to view and vote upon a single division. For example, if we have 80 teams, we may have four divisions with 20 teams each. Participants are expected to review the entries in their division (or, read 20 out of the 80 entries) and select their top three favorites from their own division. | Depending on the number of teams in the HSWC, the entries may be divided up to make them more manageable for participants. If that occurs, participants who go to the voting webform will receive a list of ~20 entries for them to read and consider. From this smaller group, they will be expected to pick their top three favorites. Entries will be assigned to participants at random by a program that the coding team is creating, and entries will be evenly distributed among all participants for voting. The program will try to make it so that participants have the chance to vote on an entry from every team over the course of the event, though this may not be possible depending on how many entries each round receives, how many people vote, etc. |

Members will have roughly one week to vote on their assigned division. After this first round of voting is completed, the highest scoring entries from each division--sixteen in total--will then advance to a final vote round. Participants will then pick their top three final vote favorites. Based on the votes, the top fifteen teams will then be sorted into a final ranking, and [[Scoring|points]] will be distributed accordingly. | Members will have roughly one week to vote on their assigned division.

The only rule for voting is: '''DO NOT''' vote for your own team. If you do, your vote will be invalidated and your team will lose ten points. We'll try to set it up in a way that it should be fairly impossible to vote for yourself, but just in case, it's still worth mentioning. | Participants will have one week to pick their top three final vote favorites.

There is no bonus round voting; if you write a fill or a prompt, you receive points as noted. | The only rule for voting is: '''DO NOT''' vote for your own team.

While leaving comments and reviews to main/collab/bonus round entries doesn't earn additional points, it's definitely worth doing if you can! Your fellow participants will really appreciate feedback on all their hard work, and the more comments you leave, the more likely you are to receive comments on your own pieces (though there is of course no guarantee). | There is no bonus round voting; those fills and prompts receive points [[Scoring#Bonus Rounds|as noted]].

Voting

Voting is very simple. Any registered member of any team, including Team Noir, is allowed to vote. Voting opens roughly 24 hours after each main or collab round closes. On the DW community, a link will be posted to a voting webform. Each person may cast one vote for three teams using this form.
