So, I decided that I'm going to run a vote here on the forums for the major awards in each league. I'm posting this now to give everyone a head's up.
VOTING IS OVER. SEE HERE FOR RESULTS.
The deadline for submitting a ballot is midnight October 11th, so you have through Friday the 10th to send your ballot in.
Preliminary Rules:
- 1) All ballots must be sent by email to xxxpunkrock630 at aol dot com with the subject "Sports Mogul Awards", OR sent via private message to me with the same subject. Please do not send both an email and a private message. If you email it to me, please list your forum user name as well. You can post your votes on the forums, if you want, but only votes sent via email or PM will be officially counted.
- 2) Please try to be as unbiased as you can when voting. Please vote for players based on the merits of their performance and the award at hand, not vote for your favorite players even if they're clearly not worthy.
- 3) All ballots must be easily readable. Each award has multiple slots on the ballot. Please number your ballot for each award so that the spot you place a player is easily seen.
- 4) You do not have to vote for each award. Just make sure to designate which awards you are voting for. See the following for an example of an organized ballot:
and so on.AL MVP
1) Player X
2) Player F
3) Player V
NL MVP
1) Player Z
2) Player A
3) Player B
AL Cy Young
1) Player 1
2) Player 2
3) Player 3- 5) Please fill out the EXACT amount of slots available for any awards you're voting for. For MVP, please list exactly 10 players, no more, no less. For Cy Young, exactly 3 pitchers. For Gold Glove, exactly 3 players for each position, and so on.
- 6) Any ballots that don't adhere to these rules will not be counted. I will reply to you if your ballot does not follow the rules, and give you a chance to resubmit it in accordance with the rules.
The awards we will be voting on are as follows. Each award will have two winners, one from each league, so please vote separately for each league in each award. The numbers in parenthesis are the amount of players per league each voter must list on their ballot. For the 10-slot MVP ballot, a 1st place vote is worth 14 points, a 2nd place vote is worth 9 points, a 3rd place vote is worth 8 points, and so on down to a 10th place vote being worth 1 point. For a 3-slot ballot, a 1st place vote is worth 5 points, a 2nd place vote is worth 3 points, and a 3rd place vote is worth 1 point. For the 9-slot outfielder Gold Glove and Silver Slugger ballots, a 1st place vote is worth 11 points, a 2nd place vote is worth 8 points, a 3rd place vote is worth 7 points, and so on down to 9th place being 1 point.
