Vote for which of the two players you think was greater. Vote honestly, and leave your bias out of it. Don’t vote for a player just because you like them, don’t vote against a player just because you dislike them.
Consider the table conditions to be whatever conditions would have the least impact on the result.
You can use your own personal criteria for measuring greatness once it’s free of any bias towards/against (delete as applicable) players you like/dislike (delete as applicable).

Easy call, in my view.
Ding has faced stronger competition than what Mountjoy faced in his prime, yet Ding has been far more successful. That's not to say Mountjoy wasn't a good player, he was, but he was nowhere near being an all-time great. Ding probably isn't an all-time great either, but he's on the borderline.

I know mate. Forgive. I also knew it was a wasted vote and would not affect the outcome.

At the Barbican in London one of the buildings is called Mountjoy house and when I worked near there I walked past it everyday and it always made me smile
