Just wondering ... What would be the best way of selecting the winner of this particular tournament? Majority (or plurality) vote of tenured faculty? Majority or plurality vote of all faculty? Majority vote of all faculty, plus adjuncts (with each adjunct weighted as 0.5 of a vote)? Or a series of coin tosses?

Like 2000, why don't you just get five Justices of the Supreme Court to select your leader?

Coin tosses? What if the coin does not flip? And even if someone gets a redo because the coin does not flip, shouldn't they be given a chance to call heads or tails again?

If the coin doesn't flip, they can always get that Florida election judge holding up a magnifying glass to his BULGING eye straining for a pregnant chad. He seems to be fair....
