Remember, of course, that fan votes will not decide who makes the cut to the final 3, though they (may?) play a very small part.

[Chris Parkin \'03]

My understanding was that this is the last vote. Eligible voters pick their top three from these ten, just as fans are voting for their top three. The sum of the fan vote is equal to one of these other votes (coaches & media). So if Lenny finishes 3rd it is as if some coach put him third.  "Hobey Hat Trick" or final three is just so not all 10 finalists need to show up at the banquet. They simply tally the vote (which occurs after regionals?) and tap the top three vote getters as the best of the finalists.
No one votes amongst the top three. They didn't change that this year, did they?
