Because clans such as ours have put the list up in our forums and asked our players to voice an opinion if they have one. This things not starting tomorrow anyway, so dont really feel the need to rush something when Chuck put a deadline up already.
He was more referring to the whole waiting process since this was due back in Dec to begin with.... I think. Not the given till next week.
Well judging from the list Chuck had of responses, the rankings would have been composed from about 8 clans... Just saying there's no reason to push a subject that's already being addressed. If anything, this extra time to give clans another chance to give their rankings will make them more accurate, and I know clans like AOD would not have been ready or participating at that time when the rankings were first collected.

If in doubt mate have a look at the clans' members and let that be a guide if there's not enough to go on in terms of completed challenges/tournies.
For me this exercise is as much about perceived strength in the next encounter (and for which the seedings for Conq.Cup II are based) than it is about historical accomplishments.

Right, I see this particular ranking as one of potential vs accomplishment. Who do I think would win in a matchup between clans is the sole determinant of how I rank clans for this.

Looking good. Already have more votes than previously with 17. I will message all of those I haven't got a vote for again later today and remind them that votes have to be in by Friday and they are required to submit one as part of participation in the Conqueror's Cup.

Let's do some predicting on the results. The top 7 may just switch places in some spots.
TSM to drop.
Kort rises.
Nemesis drops.
BPB drops.
Botfm rises.
AOC rise, big time. (top 10 for sure)
AOD drops, big time.

At least wait until most of the results are released before making any heavy predictions. There are still almost half that haven't submitted theirs in yet, with a few notables among them, we don't wanna go about influencing peoples submissions do we?

Over who? Sure, they've done well (except CLA), but there's maybe one or two clans above them I could see them passing, and at least one below them that I would expect to jump them, if anything they'll drop

Well if you look at it at face-value, we've got a 7-2 record, with 1 defeat which was marginal at best against thota, and another a long time ago as to be immaterial, but to another top 8 clan. So if we go head-to-head in a sufficiently engaging match-up, you'll be hard pressed to find many people getting the better of us.
I'm not even sure what cla competition you're talking about

Of course, tho cla does refer to the association which you are as yet still the leader off, so we don't want any confusion, do we?

Unfortunately defeats are defeats, marginal or not. I say this with the experience of 2 recent ones (36-34 Nemesis and 31-29 ID). They still sting!

You guys weren't on the list we received to vote on, unless you take L4D spot.
The deadline is today right?

Yes, deadline is today, Wild Geese obviously were not on the list because they have never played anything. They will be on the next vote.
I don't have much time to be on today. I will compile the votes this weekend.

I suggest do not remove the ranking from july 2010, just add brand new one. in future, it will be interesting to follow history of power rankings, not only the last standings.

Good idea (though I have a sneaky suspicion Blitz will have already recorded all the details and we will soon be presented with a Top 10 Power Rankings list for the ages).
