I am going to run the MVP again this year.
For those of you unfamiliar with it here is a quick outline of the rules:

- 5 selected voters vote every week. The same 5. It's a bit elitist but the problem with open voting is the varied amount of voters. This time we get consistancy. If you want to run your own format that's ok there is room for two awards on the board.

- The 5 voters last year were jabso, Lonie, cointoss, hoggy and murray. Now murray has been gone for a while so unless he comes back which I'm pretty sure he won't we will need one more voter. That is unless the others decide not to continue on this year. Sorry to be elitist but I'll try and find a regular poster on this board.

- THIS YEAR the voters are jabso, Coin_Toss, vinnie_vegas69, eddiesmith and hoggy.

- While last year I had some unofficial emergency voters I won't have them this year. If someone can't vote because they didn't see the game I'll find someone to fill in for them. If I can't find a voter I'll do my patented hasty crappy averaging system where I average and round up the votes.

- The voting is similar to The Age's voting. You select the top 5 Collingwood players and give them a rating out of 10. This ensures that a player who is our 5th best player in a 100 point loss gets rated accordingly compared to the 5th best player in a great team performance.

- There is no real guide as far as rating goes and it varies but 10/10 is probably a perfect dominating game so you don't want to give them out too much. 6/10 is a solid but not dazzling performance. In a good game with alot of good performers the lowest score would be 7/8. In a bad game it can go as low as 4 or so. Either way if you are a new voter and are unsure on how it goes don't worry just make sure you are consistant in your ratings.

- An example of last years voting (sorry about the format and spacing):

The elimination final which was as we know a pretty poor performance.

Code:
jabso		           CT		            Murray
6 - R.Shaw		6. R Shaw		6. B Johnson
6 - Johnson		6. Clement		6. J Clement
5 - Buckley		5. Tarrant		6. R Shaw
5 - Thomas		5. Thomas		5. C Tarrant
4 - Tarrant		4. Johnson		5. D Thomas

L50		          Hoggy		
6. B Johnson				       Totals:
6. J Clement		6. R.Shaw		R.Shaw 30
6. R Shaw		5. Thomas		Thomas 25
5. C Tarrant		5. O'Bree		Tarrant 23
5. D Thomas		5. Presti		Johnson 22
		        4. Tarrant	         Clement 18
				                 O'Bree 5
				                 Buckley 5
				                Presti 5

Round 8 vs Geelong. The 100 point thrashing.

Code:
Round 8				

Murray		CT		L50
8. Swan		8. Swan		8. Swan
8. Buckley		8. Davis		8. Davis
8. Davis		8. H.Shaw		8. H.Shaw
8. H.Shaw		7. Fraser		8. Fraser
8. Fraser		7. Didak		8. Buckley

Hoggy		Jabso		
9. Davis		8. Davis		
9. Swan		8. O'Bree		
8. O'Bree		8. H.Shaw		
8. Clement		8. Didak		
8. Johnson		8. Swan

- The votes are tallied as is. I.e. not given 5-4-3-2-1 for the top 5 players, every point counts.

- The deadline is pretty loose just try to be pretty early and obviously before the next game.

- I will post a voting thread every week and if I'm late like I was a few times last year and want to vote feel free to start the thread yourself like many people decided to do.

- Discussion and adding your own votes, despite not being an official voter is welcome and encouraged.
 
I'm pretty sure that I'm voting or you're banned...

:p

Seriously though, if you need another voter, I'm very interested. I'll probably be at all 18 games this year, and I'll see the other 4.

I would like to hand my voting spot down to someone who wants to do it. By that, I don't mean I don't want to do it (you know I live for this), but I have way too much on my plate for 2007, and with the BigFooty Medal going ahead, it will need more attention, especially with less time for other things.

I would like to nominate nick_savo to take over my position, considering vinnie is likely to take Murray's spot. Nick unfortunately missed out on a spot in the BigFooty Medal voting, and he is a deserving member to get the opportunity.
 
Ok VV you can have murray's spot.

I was just about to say we have one more to confirm but that poster was me. :eek:

I will go through the (im)proper processes but nick savo the up and comer is certainly in the running for Lonie's spot.

This time I'll try to keep and post more info including totals of each poster. Although I did do this I think I made many mistakes with the poster totals.

EDIT: I suppose I should give some pre-requisites for being a voter
- You have to attend a good amount of games
- You have to watch all games, eventually. If you can't watch one for some reason don't worry though.
- While being a big poster is not a prerequisite it does give me the assurance that the poster is active on this board often enough to rely on posting votes each week.

Those are the names of people who have requested to take Lonies spot, It is up to you jabso
 
Why don't you just have open voting then average the votes? That would remove anomalies that crop up because of varying voter numbers.

It is too complicated. You could have 22 players getting points each week. Also there is no consistancy. I have openly said this is an elitist selection process! As I said before anyone is more than welcome to run an open voting system award. It's pretty easy to run one.

Problem with that is that nuffies will award Martin Clarke 11 out of 10 (I'm looking specifically at someone that has their name very similar to Save She Can).

Freudian slip?

It was just a suggestion. Of course, you can run it in any manner you want.
