Coaches, now that you've had a chance to see your team and several others in action, it's time to open the coaches poll.

Due to ballot stuffing and a general lack of time, the fans poll has been dropped this year, and all coaches poll ballots will have to be e-mailed rather than submitted by filling out the voting form.

As always, all coaches votes are welcome, but please vote intelligently. If you do not truly believe that your team is the best, do not vote for them for first place. You may vote as often as you change your mind about who should be ranked, but only your most recent submission will count. Votes will be carried forward in the event that you do not submit an updated vote on a given week. However, if you do not vote for three consecutive weeks, your vote will be considered stagnant and will not count toward the current poll. So, even if your votes have not changed, you should try to submit your vote at least every couple weeks to prevent it from being dropped.

Also, please vote for 5 teams in whatever class you are comfortable voting on. If you feel knowledgeable only about AAA Boys, then you should submit votes only for AAA Boys. If you feel knowledgeable about all four classes (AA Boys and Girls, AAA Boys and Girls), then vote for your top 5 in each.

Thanks for your cooperation, and happy voting.
