I just noticed this. It's a really bad idea for the person counting up the votes to decide themselves what the vote should be if someone's skipped a match, it'll only end in trouble. If it's a massive amount of extra hassle then maybe discount someone's votes (although I'm a bit puzzled as to why it makes things so much more complicated), but if you take the votes yourselves you'll just completely skew the results.

Yeah, and voting one way or the other when I've heard neither album just skews it even more. It'd end up being 'oh, well I've heard of Fugazi, and that one album of theirs that I have is quite good, so I'll vote for their one.' Or worse yet, 'Well, "The Weakerthans" is kind of a cool band name, I'll vote for them instead of the other guys.'
a pack of wolves:
Yeah, that way we could end up with two albums in the final hardly anyone gives a shit about but both had good covers.
evilbobthebob:
That would be fine, you then change the name of the competition to 'Album cover of the decade'. I think I will abstain from the rest of the competition because like DynamiteKid I haven't heard of many of these albums let alone listened to them :|
