SPINBALLOT
Start
01 · The lifecycle

How a round goes.

A Spinballot round follows the cadence your league picks: weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Theme, submit, vote, results. Rinse, rank, repeat through a season sized to your tier.
02 · An example weekly round

These times are an example. Your organizer sets the deadlines and opens each phase for your league.

MON · 12:00
Phase · Theme drops

A theme drops.

The organizer posts a one-liner. It can be a vibe, a constraint, a category, or a fight — anything that frames what 'a good submission' means this round.

One title. One short brief.
Notifications depend on member preferences and device permissions.
Themes can be by-the-book or hostile.

THU · 23:59

Everyone picks one song.

One track each, from Spotify or Apple Music. Add a one-line note your league will read after votes are in. Picks stay hidden until voting opens.

Pick from a launch music provider — we normalize.
Anonymous through voting when your league turns that on.
Edit until the deadline. Then it locks.

SUN · 23:59
Phase · Voting closes

Cast your ballot.

06 · Common questions

Save a draft. Seal when ready.

What if I miss the submission deadline?
You sit out the round but stay in the season. No penalty, just no chance to score that week. Organizers can extend deadlines if the league agrees.
Can I see who submitted what?
Anonymous submissions hide their submitter during voting. Names and vote attribution are revealed with results. Your league settings and submission preferences determine anonymity.
Can I edit my submission?
Up to the moment submissions close. Your league sees only your final pick.
What if a song has been submitted before?
Each member can submit one song per round. Previous use of a song does not automatically prevent a new submission; agree on any extra house rules with your league.
Which Voting Modes can a league use?
Organizers can choose Single Ballot, Rank'em, Weighted Ballots, or Ballot Book. Supported modes can also add Downvoting.
Can I change my ballot?
You can save a draft and edit it while voting is open. Sealing submits your final ballot; votes and ballot comments cannot be changed afterward.
