So the election /BBWeb/ntelection.aspx?CountryID=78 results seem strange. 2 votes were cast: 1 for a Brasilian manager, and 1 for an Icelandic manager. The tiebreaker went to the Brasilian. Now, I am sure that he will do a fine job, but this just seems strange to me. So basically, I am wondering:

What are the tiebreaking procedures in a NT election, and why did this one go that way.

I believe it's by who has been playing the longest.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

That was my assumption as well, but then there's the problem that Iceland has only existed for a season. I realize this is a bit knit-picky, but I felt I should bring it up.

Edit: I also assume that is why in elections w/o votes the manager spot went to the manager playing the longest?

I received a vote of another person.
The Technical Iceland Probably voted in itself...

Other elections also end in tie:
Cyprus: http://www.buzzerbeater.org/BBWeb/ntelection.aspx?CountryID=77
Puerto Rico: http://www.buzzerbeater.org/BBWeb/ntelection.aspx?CountryID=80
Ira: http://www.buzzerbeater.org/BBWeb/ntelection.aspx?CountryID=59
Scotland: http://www.buzzerbeater.org/BBWeb/ntelection.aspx?CountryID=64

What is the criteria for selection in case of a tie?

JuicePats said it goes by who has been playing the longest, which seems to fit what I'm seeing.

I have no problem with you being manager as you were elected fairly under the tiebreaking rules. However, it seemed a little odd and I wanted to bring it up.

Cheers.
