Controversy
Unfortunately, Isaria and Eurora did not vote. Originally it seemed that Escotia had also not voted, but it now seems that due to technical difficulties on ESCforum, the votes were in fact sent but not received by the host. In the official standings, Escotia's votes were not added as the deadline had already passed, but Escotia was allowed to keep its full score, whereas both Isaria and Eurora lost 75% of their totals.
