Does anyone think it would be better to add the registered user bonus at the end of the match? Rallies tend to do just enough to win so a few thousand votes being added may reverse any rally.


There is one benefit to adding the registered user bonus once the match ends - It can give outside rallies a false impression that they've done just enough to win the match (as rallies tend to back off once their preferred entrant takes the lead).

The negatives towards adding the bonus after the match ends is that it can ruin the suspense of a close match. What you thought would have been a close match without the bonus could easily switch the other way once the bonus is applied. And it also favors rally attempts since they're seeing the actual results with the bonus already applied to the match before it ends.
