Clarification on Public Choice Award Voting

I’d like to raise a discussion regarding the Public Choice Award voting in SANS Hackathon .Based on the visible likes i believe that our votes must be 300+.

My concern isn’t about questioning their merit but ensuring that the voting process was conducted fairly and transparently. Can we get clarity on how the final decision was made? Also, can we know how many votes the winning team and our team received? I believe it’s important for all participants to understand the criteria to maintain trust in the competition’s integrity.

Looking Forward for your response.

Thank you
