the way I tally up all voting challenges is each vote is weighted, by that I mean each 1st place vote weighs 3 votes, each 2nd place vote weighs 2 votes and each 3rd place vote weighs 1 vote. So even though you received 4 3rd place votes that equals 4 votes as opposed to #1(3rd place winner) who received 1st place vote (3 votes), plus 1 2nd place vote (2 votes) and 2 3rd place votes (2 votes) which equals 7.
I do voting this way so as to avoid the same entry from placing more than once. for instance if the same entry received 3 1st place votes and 3 2nd place votes it wouldn't be good if that entry won both 1st and 2nd place.
I decided that was the best way to do things. Your set was very gorgeous though, I would have been completely satisfied if yours had one 1st place and was the community layout.
At the end of the Round I'm going to have a poll and feedback post to see what everyone likes/dislikes about how the first round went which will include how everyone likes how I tally up the voting. I know I've said this a million times before and everyone has told me its really up to me but the truth is I'm doing this for all of you. If the majority of people would like voting done a different way than I will be happy to change it up.
