just a thought

The amount of ties there were after the first round (including a tie for #1), it just wouldn't work to have just one. Plus, Round 2 gives people a concrete list to vote from containing people that they may have forgot to vote for in the first round. The current format works... it's been the same for almost ten years. If I were to change anything it would be minor details.

As for the interest declining, I disagree. In the first round I received 55 votes, and in the second round I received 49. People aren't going to carry on keeping this thread active, most are just waiting for the countdown.
