Wow they have a decent head start on us. Do not forget you can vote as much as you want and F5 key is the fastest way to refresh and vote again once you have submitted a vote.

This poll seems a lot less stressful on the carpal tunnel than the previous one but I have only been in the game for a few minutes and have not really even warmed up yet. During the last timeout, the Coach went over a few IMacro strategies with us but they did not seem to work. What do the Coaches know anyway? Let the kids play ball! ;)

At least for me on Firefox browser, clicking on "Return to Poll" seems to be better than refresh (F5).

And for optimum results, your three mouse clicks should form close to a wide angle isosceles triangle of minimum area (when choosing the school, you don't need to click on the "hole" at left of school). Sorry guys, that's the math geek coming out in me.

Just tried what Seal Hall suggested above. It is faster.

I had been doing "CTRL & R" to refresh as "F5" was not working for me.

I guess my method is a little too fast. Now I have been blocked:

"We have received too many votes from you. You will be unblocked after a cooling off period."

It must be looking at total votes because I just got back to it after an hour long sit down with a roofing salesman.

Don't have a way around it yet. Maybe a different computer on a different IP address would work. If anyone finds a loophole, please post.

try erasing your history and cache a first or a different computer will most likely work

Got same message from cell phone which is on my home network. They apparently have votes tied to IP address of my router which means it is time to head to my local pub and use their wireless network with my cell phone. Should be good for a while anyway.

Yea, sounds like it's tied to IP address then. You could go to a location with free wi-fi and use that for a while; if you've got a neighbor with an open wi-fi connection...technically that would be a different IP address (I'm not suggesting you necessarily do this, I'm just saying it would technically qualify as a different IP); or if you have access to a VPN to another location or something, you could connect through that and vote for a while.
