Worldcon 75: 2017 Hugo report #4The impact of EPH and the potential impact of EPH The 2016 WSFS Business Meeting requested that the 2017 Hugo Administrators provide comparative results of the nomination stage under both EPHand the old tallying system. Given the continuing debate around voting systems, we have gone a bit further and have examined both the actual impactof EPH on the 2017 final ballot, and the theoretical impact of EPH . We also examine the impact of the “5 and 6” amendment.This document is purely a mathematical exercise. We do not make any judgement here about how individuals or groups may adjust their behaviourbased on changes to nomination rules. No matter what the rules are, determined groups will look for the best way to exploit those rules.1) DefinitionsEPH is a system for tallying nomination votes as follows: First, the total number of nominations from all ballots is tallied for each nominee.Next, a single point is assigned to each individual voter’s nomination ballot. That point is divided equally among all nominees on that ballot.(After the first round of calculation, it is divided equally between remaining nominees.)Next, all points from all nomination ballots are totalled for each nominee in that category.Next, the two nominees with the lowest point totals are compared. If there is a tie of more than two nominees with the lowest or secondlowest point total, all of them are compared.Whichever of the nominees being compared has the fewer or fewest number of nominations is eliminated and removed from all subsequentcalculations. If two or more nominees are tied for the fewest number of nominations, the nominee with the lowest point total at that round iseliminated. If two or more nominees are tied for both fewest number of nominations and lowest point total, then all such nominees tied atthat round shall be eliminated, unless that would leave fewer than six in play, in which case they all get onto the final ballot.Back to step 1 with the remaining nominees after the elimination.EPH is a variant of EPH where points are divided by 3 if between 2 nominees, by 5 if between 3 nominees, by 7 if between 4 nominees, and by 9 ifbetween 5.5 and 6 refers to the new rule that voters make five nominations, but there are six finalists, in each category.Nominee diversity refers to the new rule that no more than two works by the same author(s) or episodes of the same TV series can appear in the samecategory.
2) Impact of EPHWe find the following impact of EPH, comparing the actual 2017 results with the calculated results for 2014, 2015 and 2016. (We have not consideredthe calculations for the 1939 and 1941 Retro Hugos, as they are not really comparable)Finalist changes Final ballot categories changed Long list changes Long list categories e 2014, 2015 and 2016 numbers analyze a final ballot of 5 rather than 6, a long list of 15 rather than 16, and compare 15 categories rather than 18.)EPH made no difference to either the final ballot or the top sixteen in six ballot categories: Best Novel, Best Related Work, Best Dramatic Presentation(Long Form), Best Dramatic Presentation (Short Form), Best Semiprozine, or Best Series.As a result of EPH, the final ballot had seven changes in six categories compared to the old system. For those finalists that were included on the finalballot under EPH, but would have been excluded under the old system, we give their ranking in the final ballot vote. Those that were ranked below “NoAward” are indicated by the symbol.CategoryIncluded on final ballot under EPHExcluded from final ballot by EPHBest Short Story( 7) An Unimaginable Light” (John C.Wright)“Things With Beards” (Sam J.

As a result of EPH, the top sixteen nominees had thirteen changes in ten categories compared to the old system.CategoryIncluded in top sixteen under EPHExcluded from top sixteen by EPHBest NovellaChimera (Gu Shi, S. Qiouyi Lu, Ken Liu)Everything Belongs to the Future (Laurie Penny)Best Novelette“Kid Dark Against the Machine” (Tansy Rayner Roberts)“The Plague Givers” (Kameron Hurley)Best Short Story “We Have A Cultural Difference, Can I Taste You?”(Rebecca Ann Jordan) “The Story of Kai Yu” (Peter S.

Cosh and Chris Kammerud) Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men (Jay Rachel Edidinand Miles Stokes) Breaking the Glass Slipper (Lucy Hounsom,Charlotte Bond and Megan Leigh)(tie for sixteenth place)CampbellSunil PatelIlana C. MeyerIt is clear that the number of changes to the final ballot caused by EPH in 2017 is comparable to that calculated for 2014, when slating was less of anissue, and less than calculated for 2015 and 2016, when slating was at its height.The number of changes to the “long list” caused by EPH in 2017 is comparable to both 2014 and 2015; in context, the rather small number changes thatEPH would have made to the “long list” in 2016 seems unusually low.
3) Summary of impact of EPH EPH would have made no difference to either the final ballot or the top sixteen, as determined by EPH, in nine ballot categories: Best Novel, BestNovelette, Best Related Work, Best Dramatic Presentation (Long Form), Best Professional Artist Best Fanzine, Best Fancast, Best Fan Writer, or theJohn W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer. (Compared to the old system, only three categories would have been the same.)Under EPH , the final ballot would have had four changes in four categories from the real final ballot (calculated using EPH).In the case of Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form, only two episodes of Game of Thrones would have qualified for the final ballot under EPH , andthe nominee diversity rule would not have been triggered. In reality, three episodes qualified for the final ballot under EPH, and the makers declinednomination for one of the two that would have qualified under EPH .In the case of Best Professional Artist, the composition of the final ballot would have been the same, but the process would have differed: JiHun Lee,who received enough votes to be on the final ballot but was disqualified, would not have received enough votes to be on the final ballot under EPH .NB that the winner of the Hugo for Best Fan Artist would not have qualified for the final ballot under EPH .For those finalists that were included on the final ballot under EPH, but would have been excluded by EPH , we give their ranking in the final ballotvote.CategoryWould have been on final ballot under EPH On final ballot under EPH but not EPH Best Dramatic Presentation, Game of Thrones: The Winds of WinterShort Form(see above regarding nominee diversity)(3) Game of Thrones: The DoorBest Editor, Short Form(6) Sheila WilliamsP.

Valente)NB that we did not verify the eligibility (or willingness to accept nomination) of any nominee other than those who were finalists in real life, under EPH;so some of those who we indicate as potential finalists under the old system or EPH might have declined nomination or been ineligible.In the category-by-category lists below, the official final ballot, using EPH, is on the left, the ballot as it would have been using the old system in thecentre, and the ballot as it would have been under EPH on the right. Finalists are highlighted in yellow, ineligible nominees in grey.Names in red in the lists which follow were removed from or added to either the final ballot or the top sixteen by the use of EPH; names in blue wouldhave been similarly affected by EPH . Names in red and blue were/would have been affected by both systems.
