How does the club pick the winner?
Everyone swipes yes or no on the same books. If one book gets a yes from everyone, it wins. If several do, everyone ranks those, and an instant-runoff count picks the book most of you prefer, with a runner-up. A tie left at the very end is settled by a coin toss, and the poll says so.
What if nobody agrees?
There is a second chance. The most liked books go round again, and each member sees only the ones they said no to, with a line like "3 of 5 liked this. Would you go along with it?" If still nothing is common, the most liked book wins, or whoever made the poll adds more books.
Can we see who voted for what?
No. While voting, members see only how far each person has got. Afterwards the poll shows counts, such as "3 of 4 put it first", never who voted for which book.
Can members suggest books?
For now, whoever makes the poll chooses what goes in, from their own list or by searching for any book. Collect suggestions in the group chat first, then put them in the poll.
Does everyone need the app?
Yes, for now. Everyone votes in the SortBridge app on iPhone, which is in private testing. Join the waitlist to be told when it opens.
