New: Owners' Choice, a Vote Only Entrants Can Cast

People's Choice tells you which car the crowd liked. Plenty of entrants would rather know which car the other owners liked. Owners' Choice is a second vote, beside People's Choice, that only people with a confirmed car in your show can cast.

How it works

Owners scan the QR code on a car's dash card, enter the email they registered with, and vote. They can never vote for their own car, and each owner gets one vote per category, even with several cars entered. It uses the same categories as People's Choice. Staff can also enter a vote for an owner, such as one with no phone or email handy, on an Owners' vote desk page. Results show on the show's Voting tab, split into phone and desk votes.

Turning it on

It is available on Expert shows only. Open the show's Edit Show page, find the Voting & Judging card and switch on Owners' Choice. The name is fixed, so it is always called Owners' Choice.

What to keep in mind

An owner proves who they are by typing their registered email. That suits a friendly entrants' award. It is not a strong check, so don't use it for a high-stakes award. The location check doesn't apply, and results appear on the Voting tab only, not on the Awards tab or printed results.

The full setup, with the rules and the Owners' vote desk, is in the guide Owners' Choice: a car show vote only entrants can cast. You can also look around the live demo.
