PLEASE NOTE:  When voting, only one vote will be counted per IP address during a certain time period, depending upon how often that you've attempted to register a vote.  The time frame could be as long as 24 hours.  This prevents the "stuffing" of the ballot box and the crashing of our server.  That's why if you attempt to vote multiple times from the same computer, the voting total will not increase.  For many, clicking on the e-mail link of your favorite player will be the best way to record your vote.  With the e-mail, we will count one vote per e-mail address each hour.  When you click the link above, the voting numbers reflect only those votes collected via the pop-up window and do not reflect the e-mailed votes.  Before the voting ends on Thursday, a chart will appear on the site, updating you on the number of total votes that each nominee has received.  The winner of the Army STRONG Wrestler of the Year will be determined by the most total votes (e-mail and via popup window).
