I already asked this question of the USLIA poll, but actually I am more curious about this one. Who are the voters and what are their team affiliations? I couldn't find the answer on the WCLL website.

Do you think the one first place vote for Arizona is from the Arizona coach or the UCSB coach?

Or it could be from some one non connected to either team.

How do teams from the B Division get voted onto this WCLL Poll? Was it non-discriminatory in regards to Division?

If you know how this works, please reply.

There have been a number of questions in this topic about how the WCLL Top Ten poll is conducted. All teams in the League, whether A or B Division, have one vote and may vote for teams in either division. The pre-season poll was conducted at the WCLL Annual Meeting in September. The regular season polls are done by email over a four-five day period. The WCLL Secretary counts the votes and posts the poll on the WCLL website. How teams vote is confidental, so no one will ever know who cast the first-place vote for Arizona.
