Voting Results for X-Day 2002

353 ballots were retained and counted to determine the winners of the popular vote (your votes) in each subcategory (and 37 invalid ballots were discarded). The voting period was between October 11th and 19th (UTC) of 2002, inclusive. The top entries for each subcategory as determined by the popular vote were sent to the X-Day judges so they could vote for their own top entries among them, and the judges have returned their answers. We have lots of statistics.

Click here to see a list of the internet domains (websites) which referred visitors to the X-Day 2002 site between October 8 and 26 of 2002. You can use this as a clue to how effective a website was at promoting X-Day or sending voters to it. (The submissions period was over before these days, so places that referred creators of displayed works were not counted.)

Click here to see a list of the names that were on the 353 ballots, so you know whose votes influenced the result. You can use this to verify that your ballot was counted, or that your friends' were, or that other peoples' friends were. Names are ordered alphabetically and each comes with email address (without part after '@' for voter privacy or to deprive spam robots), ip address, date and time. The number to the left of each name is the number of subcategories they picked an entry in (didn't abstain; with 28 the maximum); larger numbers meant a greater affect on the results (Abstain has no effect), smaller numbers means only a few entries were voted for.

For each of the 3 pages above, the submissions / entries are ordered the same way as on the 2002 Submissions page, and the number to the left of each entry is the number of popular votes (your votes) each entry received. Subcategories also had 'Abstain' at the top, and the number beside that shows how many people didn't vote for any of the entries. Reasons to abstain could vary between the voter feeling they shouldn't vote due to lack of knowledge or experience or because they were competing (although it is legal to vote for oneself), or because they felt that none of the entries deserved to win.

• X-Day judges were sent only the top-placed entries on which to vote (those marked with a 'J' on the left of the entry).
• While judges were sent these top entries, they were not told how many votes each received, so they voted blind with no preconceptions of a winner.
• Judges were not permitted to vote in subcategories in which they themselves competed.
• Some judges' comments are shown beneath the list of popular votes; occasionally a judge may have given feedback on an item not sent to them but that was in the complete submission list.
