1996-97 Season Awards Process & Procedures
Voting for Most Improved Player (MIP), 6th Man of the Year (6MOY), and GM of the Year (GMOY)
Campaign Period (NOW):
I apologize for the delay in getting these rules out. Beginning today until the last sim of the season, there will be 3 campaigning threads where GMs can go to campaign for their own players (or themselves). Feel free to post stats, in-season achievements, moves made, pictures, biographies... Whatever it is that makes your player/yourself stand out above the rest. There will be 3 threads, one for each award. Please keep your "pimping" relevant to the award thread you are in. NEW RULE FOR THREADS: You are allowed to make one post about yourself/your player. If you have multiple players you are pitching, you can post 1 post per player. Any additional BS posted in threads will be deleted. There will NOT be any goading or attacking other candidates to create nonsense drama like previous years.
Voting Period (Friday, 9/24 POST SIM until DC Lock of the First Sim of Playoffs):
Once the sim is completed, the voting period will officially begin. VOTES CAST PRIOR TO THIS WILL NOT COUNT. This voting period will go through the thread locking of the first sim of the playoffs. ALL VOTES CAST AFTER THE VOTING PERIOD IS CLOSED WILL NOT BE COUNTED. All votes must be within the same PM and sent to ONLY me (IamQuailman). Only your first submission will count; please only submit 1 PM of votes per team. This will help in keeping the votes organized.
Voting Set-Up:
6th Man of the Year: you will vote for 3 options, clearly labelled #1, #2, and #3. The #1 option will receive 5pts, #2 option will receive 3pts, and #3 option will receive 1pt. The player with the most points in the end wins the award. Please keep in mind: to be eligible for this award, the player MUST have come off the bench in more games than he starts (same rule as real NBA). If the guy has played 80 games this year and started 43 of those games, he would NOT be eligible.
Most Improved Player: you will vote for 3 options, clearly labelled #1, #2, and #3. The #1 option will receive 5pts, #2 option will receive 3pts, and #3 option will receive 1pt. The player with the most points in the end wins the award.
GM of the Year: you will vote for 3 options, clearly labelled #1, #2, and #3. The #1 option will receive 5pts, #2 option will receive 3pts, and #3 option will receive 1pt. The GM that receives the most points wins the award.
Please remember to vote for who deserves this award and be as unbiased as possible. To ensure this, you are allowed to vote for your own player/yourself, but only as a #2 or #3 option.
PARTICIPATION POINTS:
Participation in these award votings are vital to awards being fairly and accurately granted. As a result, there will be a pool of 50 points that will be awarded to GMs that participate in award voting... with a catch. If fewer than 15 GMs do not submit their ballots for these awards, no one is awarded points. If 15 or more do submit their ballots, then the pool of 50 points will be divided up equally amongst GMs as an award for participation. In the event of points ending in a decimal, the points will be rounded up to the nearest whole point. I.e. 20 ballots = 50 divided by 20... 2.5pts... rounded up = 3pts for each GM that votes. REMEMBER - you must vote for ALL THREE AWARDS to be considered as "participated" GM.
