Unfortunately, my national awards poll (and the league ones but im not
addressing those now) did not get a very good response. Only 6 people
voted and not everyone voted for every category or even the top three
in the category(s) they did vote in. As Wayne suggested, below, I am
going to give a list of top candidates for the national award. I'm going
to list 12 (~3 from each league although not dogmatically) which are
based partly on my judgement as to who is a contender and mostly based
on the results of the individual league polls. Feel free to write in anyone
you want and please vote for top 3 in any (all, if possible) categories
you vote for. Thanks.
 
NEW DEADLINE: Friday at 5.
