I kind of agree on getting rid of it, but at the same time don't. A simple button on battles to choose who wins would be cool, but on the other hand a number range you can rate each emcee on is still relevant. More than just a simple.."This person won because they had better bars"...how much better was the bars? Using Numerology let's both battlers know the level that their Voters think that they're on. I.E. if a battle is being voted on and there's mostly consitant low votes for one emcee, then they know they need to step it up a lil bit. Not to mention the problem with People low voting, or not even reading or listening to battles and just giving a low and random vote just to get credits. If we take away the Number system it doesn't really prevent this, A person can still just go without listening or reading and vote for their "favorite" or whoever they decide to hastly vote for just for Credits. I always leave an expo on who I voted for and why, to be fair. I don't see a problem with the rating system the way it is, the Value of the number represents the quality of the verse as long with whatever expo a person decides to leave of why they came up with that number.
If someone votes like this..
Emcee #1 Emcee #2
(6) (8)
(5) (9)
(7) (7)
(6) (9)
(7) (8)
That's saying Emcee #1 came with a slightly less par verse
and that Emcee #2 had the better verse, with mostly consistant High #'s
You can get an average rate of Each Emcee by using the "Mean" of the numbers
as well as the consistency of the "Mode" which would be the # that appears the Most Often.

Plus, Just curious...but wouldn't you have to change the requirements for "Awards" too with this theory?... I've seen a majority of Award requirements are based off the Number Voting System.. I.E. "Rated 8+" "Rated 9+" "Rated 10" etc. Those being Mostly for Cyphers and Text Battles..but also includes Traccs.
