HOW ARE WINNERS DETERMINED?
Winners are figured by both number of votes . The higher the vote counts , the better chance of winning. Falling Waters Club will work to ensure accurate reporting through the scripts in the voting posters and the top ten ranking system. However, this is SL and glitches happen and problems occur that are out of the hands of Falling Waters management. If you receive a stale transaction message, or if your money went through and did not register on the poster, wait ONE DAY, and THEN message Jazmine Gopheller or Sail Offcourse. (this allows transactions to catch up if SL is slow) A full backup of transaction histories is kept offline and in the case of any discrepancy, will be the final tally.
