Abstract: An Internet or phone polling system provides audiences of competitive events the opportunity to interact with these events by determining which contestants may compete and the activities the contestants will perform. The audience may then judge the performance of each contestant by rating performances. The audience members compete against one another by predicting the overall top rated contestants.
