With 2 out of the 3 major formats' regional competitions completed, 
ballots are now being accepted for the Pre-nationals Top 25 poll.  
Feel free to wait for CBI results this weekend or to cast them aside 
with great prejudice and submit a ballot now.  Voters should use 
whatever factors they see fit to rank programs from 1 to 25, and 
should unambiguously designate the schools they're ranking (e.g., 
which Rutgers, don't use UM, etc.).  Votes for B teams will not be 
counted.  Please submit your ballot to top25 -at- texasquizbowl.org 
by next Tuesday, Feb. 24.  Results will be posted sometime on 
Wednesday, Feb. 25.
