14 voters this round. The number of voters have reduced significantly, but that was really to be expected. Most people are only excited about top 20-30.... Anyways, still a more than decent turnout and I am very satisfied with this list. The first two positions were a tie among two pacers, broken by vote count. And despite fewer voters, 41 players were voted in, more than any previous round teasing things to be closer going forward.
Here is the votes tally:
