ALSO, I think there should be some mechanism to eliminate multiple entries from one casino - the Riviera had two entries, while the Palms had 4! A pre-vote run-off, to select the best chip from each casino with multiple entries, would be an improvement to this contest, IMHO.

With all the Hard Rock collectors (in all fairness, including myself), the Friday the 13th Hard Rock was a shoe-in with only one HR chip in the finals. Unfortunately, the chip I think was FAR SUPERIOR to all others this year, had to split votes with 3 other Palms chips (no other chip faced this handicap)...
