I am glad there is a vote for a spot. If you are going to just go by numbers, then do it. The points system is very good and proven to find the top teams for the tournament, but not necessarily the best top to bottom. Not a knock and just my opinion. It's based on an individual tournament, not dual format where matchups and bumping come into play. Anecdotally, there have been many cases in the past where a team had more points and was beaten in a dual that season and the following season by team(s) who weren't considered to get in. This vote in spot along with the remaining spot for the best performing in season team, helps address that and any "scoring anomalies". All 3 combined, points, vote, & in season performance, seems to be a good all around approach given the limitations and situations the dual team tournament faces.
