Sort of. The public doesn't need to look at a preference matrix to be able to understand the results, but precincts will still report them publicly so us voting nerds can do our analysis.

Okay, so in a sentence, here's the method:

Among the candidates who tie for winning the most head-to-head matchups, elect the candidate with the best average rank.

Let me break that down a bit more by showing you the working ballot language I (and others) have come up with so far.

• Rank as many candidates as you would like.
• You are free to rank multiple candidates equally.
• Skipped ranks are simply ignored and will neither hurt nor help your vote.
• Ranked candidates are considered better than candidates left unranked.

<candidates and rankings>

• Candidates are compared in one-on-one matchups against every other candidate. In most elections, a single candidate will be preferred over all others, in which case that candidate is elected.
• Otherwise, all the candidates who tie for having won the most matchups become finalists; all other candidates are eliminated.
• For each finalist, subtract the number of times they lost to each other finalist from the number of times they beat each other finalist. The finalist with the highest total difference is elected.

To clarify, "best average rank" (tournament-style Borda) is mathematically identical to the margins process described. “Best average rank” is shorter and sweeter for sure, but here’s what I fear:

An example ballot from a given voter:
1st: A
2nd: blank
3rd: blank
4th: blank
5th: B
6th: blank
.
.
.
Nth: blank

In the math, we treat that as:
1st: A
2nd: B
3rd: all other candidates tied

which is mathematically equivalent, but clearly not what the voter expressed. Even with the explicit instruction that ”Skipped ranks are simply ignored and will neither hurt nor help your vote.”, the phrase "Best average rank” will cause many voters to construe ranks as scores. The ballot language needs to clearly convey that the focus is simply on candidates being ranked higher or lower than each other and that the magnitude (greater than 0) of the distance between their ranks is irrelevant.

As you can see, there's quite the range of how descriptive the ballot language can get. I'm down to keep working on ballot language; I want to have several different version and do actual field testing with the different descriptions to find the best one

It's been rumoured and discussed many times over the years, but something is now officially happening: a Babylon 5 reboot is in the planning stages with original creator and writer J. Michael Straczynski attached.

The new project is being helmed by the CW, although reportedly the show will retain a similar sensibility to the original and will not skew younger, as a lot of their content does. The show will open with Earthforce officer John Sheridan being assigned to Babylon 5, a massive space station serving as a diplomatic exchange and trade hub. Simultaneously with his arrival, an exploratory Earth mission inadvertently triggers a conflict with a more advanced alien civilisation, threatening humanity and several other races.

So far, this is only a development announcement and the show has not yet been greenlit to series or a pilot stage. It is unclear if any of Babylon 5's other creative forces are involved, such as fellow executive producer John Copeland, composer Christopher Franke or the visual effects team, or if any of the actors from the original series such as Bruce Boxleitner, Claudia Christian, Patricia Tallman, Peter Jurasik or Bill Mumy may return in new roles.

A reboot was considered the more likely form for the show to take, due to the deaths of so many original series actors (including Michael O'Hare, Jerry Doyle, Richard Biggs, Mira Furlan, Andreas Katsulas and Stephen Furst), making a sequel series unlikely. The original show is also considered a cult success without the familiarity of, say, a Star Trek or Star Wars, making a reboot of the original story more viable.

The original incarnation of Babylon 5 debuted in 1993 with a TV movie called The Gathering. Five seasons followed, totalling 110 episodes (with Straczynski writing 93 episodes in total), along with four TV movies and a spin-off series, Crusade, which ran for one season. Straczynski later penned a potential pilot for a second spin-off, Legends of the Rangers, and a straight-to-DVD movie in 2007 called Babylon 5: The Lost Tales. Warner Brothers expressed an interest in developing more content, but Straczynski bailed out of the project due to a lack of budget and interest in developing a spin-off feature film he'd penned. The franchise also extended to tabletop roleplaying games, miniatures wargames and a line of novels.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

Colorado College

Conference: National Collegiate Hockey Conference "NCHC" ( 2013 - Present).

Year Founded: 1874

Location: Colorado Springs, Colorado

Total Attendance: 2,012

Nickname: Tigers

Mascot: RoCCY

At the beginning of 2020, Colorado College announced numerous changes to the hockey program. To accompany the addition of the Ed Robson Arena, The Colorado College Department of Athletics updated the shield logo and the school mascot. Colorado College’s mascot previously was Prowler, but has since “graduated” where RoCCY has taken over all mascot duties.

Arena: Ed Robson Arena

The new $52 million dollar arena will debut this fall for the 2021-2022 hockey season and be the home for the Colorado College hockey team. The Ed Robson Arena will have a max capacity of 3,407 fans. There is still controversy amongst the Colorado College hockey fan base regarding the lower capacity compared to other Division I hockey programs. The Colorado College hockey team previously played at The Broadmoor World Arena (1998-2021). Attendance has fluctuated between 6,000 and 7,000 fans a game between 1997-1998 and 2016-2017, and would have a massive drop off to 4598 fans in 2017-2018 and 3650 fans in 2018-2019. Lower attendance can be attributed to poor results in the last decade, where their last winning season was in 2011-2012. The lower attendance numbers in the previous years is directly correlated with the Athletic Department's decision to have the new arena be a smaller venue than the Broadmoor World Arena.
