Voting Information

The new interface will for the most part guide you through the voting process, but to remind you:
 
Please award FIVE points maximum to the clue you judge best: FOUR points for second, THREE for third, TWO for fourth, down to ONE point for fifth; but otherwise you may distribute your votes as you see fit including ½ marks for split voting – as long as you award no more than 15 points IN TOTAL and no more than 5 points to any one clue.
 
- and of course you should NOT VOTE for your own clue!

And even the best of us can err at times!
