One voter left to weigh in; anything can happen, and probably will.

Heading out for a bit and still a long time till voting closes but the final tally will be up by 3pm (9pm to most of you)

Well, that was wild. I am not sure what I was expecting but probably not as much vote-splitting as occurred - several people split their vote 6 ways. It does show how hard these competitions are to judge. In order of votes received, here we are, with clue # / setter / votes:

@6 / bbm2 / 9
@5 / jono / 8
@16 / fieryjack / 8
@15 / mattrom / 7
@14 / mattrom / 6
@4 / dorrien / 5
@7 / dorrien / 4
@17 / paul / 4
@26 / paulh / 4
@30 / tyke / 4
@41 / jimmyg / 4
@40 / jimmyg / 3
@18 / mprs / 2
@22 / paul / 2
@31 / tyke / 2
@34 / fieryjack / 2
@36 / mattrom / 2
@38 / dorrien / 2
@3 / mattrom / 1
@10 / paul / 1
@12 / dorrien / 1
@13 / fieryjack / 1
@23 / faiton / 1
@24 / faiton / 1

Congrats to bigbadmarty for the winner:

Captain run out at the Oval, maybe ? (6)

Unfortunately for mattrom her two nearly identical clues at 14 and 15 drew equal support. I thought about treating those as one clue, but on the other hand they were there side by side and people chose to vote for one or the other. As we have recently learned, the will of the people must not be overturned.

Herewith two prizes. This one is a sober discussion of the future of the office, post-pandemic:

And this one is just silly:

Thanks for keeping me entertained this weekend.

Congratulations bigbadmartyr2 and thanks for your votes, Jono, jimmygtal, mattrom and Paul.

Total votes add up to 84, which is divisible by 6, so well done, buddy, especially as two voters got my @number wrong, but it didn't faze you.

Clueless coming latish (UK) on Monday.

Thrilled with the result, thanks to all who voted for my clue. I do feel that mattrom was the real winner here though !

Unless there are any objections I will set and adjudicate next week keeping the new voting system in place.

Many thanks to buddy for setting this and the great prizes.
