I participate in a number of local, regional, and national gatherings of gamers.  I often run games for friends and strangers at these events, and during the past year, I’ve run around 20 different one-shot games, using 10 different game systems.  I enjoy the opportunity these gatherings provide to introduce new games to players, and would be able to use these same opportunities to get hands-on experience with products submitted for ENnies consideration.Voting for judges, and for the 2011 ENnie winners, begins on Friday, July 15th, and runs until Sunday, July 24th, and takes place at <a href="http://www.ennie-awards.com" target="_blank">ENnie Awards</a>.   Because five judges are elected each year, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_transferable_vote" target="_blank">voting system is designed</a> to allow you to vote for multiple candidates on a single ballot, eliminating ties or the need for run-off elections.Thank you!Jody Kline</blockquote>
