WHAT’S NEXT? BLITZ Exclusive Members get a chance to have their vote for Player of the Year

READ CAREFULLY: Now that the finalists are determined, it goes to voting. Our internal voting panel will vote Heisman-style for the winner for each fall sport. BLITZ Exclusive Members have a way to get their own vote in, though their vote won’t weigh as heavily as the internal panel. BLITZ Exclusive Members can cast their vote on who they think should win it. All Exclusive voters’ votes will be tallied up. Whoever has the most first-place votes (among all Exclusive voters) will then be granted a total of 2 first-place votes to be tallied in with our internal panel. VOTING ENDS DEC 2 at 10 AM

EXAMPLE: 100 BLITZ Exclusive Voters vote for Football Player of the Year. 59 votes go to John Smith. John Smith will then be given 2 1st-place votes in our Heisman voting for POY.
