Voting Rules
This is the last section of the rules portion of the Guidebook but arguably the single most important. In the XWA, rather than the bookers deciding who wins, it's the general users that vote on matches and thus render a decision. Below are the rules regarding voting in the XWA.

- While RolePlayers are allowed to handle multiple characters and accounts, they will only be afforded one vote per match. If a handler attempts to break this rule, their account will be suspended for a week and will lose the right to use multiple accounts.
- When voting on a match, members are required to provide a brief explanation as to why they voted the way they did. It doesn't have to be 750 words long, but be specific.
- In the event that all members of the booking and administrative staff feel that the vote for a match has been corrupted in any way, they will be able to render what is called an "Executive Decision" wherein their ruling overrides the user vote. This, however, will only be used in extreme situations.
- The staff are allowed to vote on matches however only in the event of a tie or an "Executive Decision" can they vote on a match involving another member of the staff.
- In the event that no members have voted on a match, it will be considered a tie and the staff will vote and render a decision on the match.
- No-Showing for a match is an automatic forfeit, and votes are not required, nor binding.
