I think some of these poll threads would benefit from having the lineups listed, in addition to the pictures. This is about the only matchup where I identified enough on sight to make a decision...

Can someone explain to me why I'm losing?!?!?

How does Darth Vader and Freddy Krueger lose to a bunch of nerds?

Because they depend on a bunch of nerds for their popularity?

Well at least it's tied now

So now what? Three-way battle next round, or some kind of tie-breaker?

I think tiebreaker but I need ideas

I'm not sure. I mean, you could do it randomly, but that's sort of unsatisfying. However, there's probably not a lot of point in reopening the polls at this point, either. We just don't get that many voters these days.

If this was a later round, you could look at votes from earlier rounds as a tie-breaker (even though that isn't exactly fair, it at least avoids being totally random), but that's not an option here.

You could see which person in each tie has won more Drafts in the past, and give the other guy the nod here. We seem to have pretty good records of that (though sometimes it is hard to say, since you may know who the alts are HERE, but you may not know them for all the older drafts...).

The thing is, since you are involved in one of the ties, if you come up with tiebreaker ideas, you have to be careful not to appear as if you are choosing one that gives your team a leg up.

Maybe you could have a vote on tie-breaker ideas. Though the way things are going, that would probably end up in a tie, too.
