Yeah, rule change noted in the note by Rat Rod right below the booth. For some reason, I think the note started out at the top of the thread, but after the pics got rectified, it ended up in the middle. I'm sure you cast 3 really good votes though!

I cast three by habit too, but I think the new voting is making for more active numbers in the poll. Pretty exciting following the ebbs and flows.
Early on, there was a brief period where Drop Out had the lead... with a whopping 5 votes. That got the old blood pumping there for a bit.
I wonder how many "REFRESH" clicks the interwebs can handle. 
I think I did, atleast I have better choices here than I have in November.
Yeah, no doubt.
Hmm, we've had multiple votes for a while. We did last year too. But I've been in every build off since I joined, so I might be remembering wrong. (but I don't think so)

Carl, we had no limit in MBBO and ORBO this past year. But the RRB BO-10 was only 3 votes. I was definitely one for multiple votes after that, too many good, viable builds to limit to 3.
Yep. I went back and looked at the BOTEN, and noted a couple things... It was just 3 votes (you are right!) and the frame I cut up for my rear clip this year was the frame I ended up with last year after I nixed the clown tandem.
I'm recycling...

Nice one!

Dude, I know!!! About 6 hours ago I MIGHT have been top 20 fodder. Then an hour later, I was top 5! Now I'm somewhere in between. Still much better than I anticipated!
Heck, I'm glad I FINISHED!!!

finally...my first time to finish a build , happy to join this build off..good luck to all!
Tough voting this year, I had a hard time showing restraint, ended up picking my top 17. A lot of really cool builds, congratulations to everyone who finished.
The level of creativity, craftsmanship, presentation and above all commitment, shown in this Build-Off has been outstanding - truly inspirational!
Thank you all for sharing your builds and to RRB for giving us this forum.
Voted for five, but it could have easily been 3X's that...BRAVO!!!

VWs AND boats? You're a glutton for punishment, lol!If it weren't for the build offs, I'm not sure that some of my bikes would have ever been started, much less finished. It's a great motivator to get things done!
I need a build off for my '69 Ghia convertible, my '56 beetle, '58 Glastron, '79 Checkmate, and on, and on, and on...
Says the guy with three trucks a 59 Cad and a '60 Glasspar!
As a bench warmer dang u guys did it again. And I too didn't notice the voting change and voted 3. Oops..... Well my jd2 model 4 is coming tomorrow so who knows you might see me back next year. Although at this point i seriously doubt i could hang. There is some truly jaw dropping machinery this year.
Even being really critical on my votes, I still ended up voting for 15 bikes, this build-off may have been smaller than some previous ones, but the overall quality is better than ever before!
Congrats to all who finished, you did an awesome job!

You can hang with the best any day, many of us use your builds as inspiration!
I'm loving it too! Probably be less ties this year too with the higher amount of total votes.
Luke.
Looks like 813 total votes so far from 123 members.
Average votes per member is 6.6
The current leader is scoring a vote from pretty much every second voter, that is impressive!

Awesome group of bikes this year! I can't get over how quick the time flew by. Never underestimate the speed of the clock. I didn't get to finish largely due to being so busy planning, executing a wedding and honeymoon. Then there is always the job and it's demands. I'll finish up the Blue Max as time permits.
that was fun. As usual, a great selection. Maybe next year I can join in again. Got my hands full right now with a one year old 
good luck everybody.
good luck everybody.
