If we have enough nominations, should the POTY and TOTY awards be broken up into hockey-related and OT categories?

This is a good point. As I have said we have some damn good posters that post some very interesting hockey news and their "rep" counts are very low.

I try and rep them when I can, I could name at least 10 posters like this and it seems like they get over looked at times.

Possibly. I'm going to let the committee decide that based on the submissions we get. If we have enough of different types, we might do that. Keep in mind I don't want to have SO many awards that it takes people forever to vote and discourages voting. We've already nearly doubled the number of categories. Mostly what we need now are more suggestions (and thanks for all yours, Dare) so we can see if that's feasible.

If anyone else would like to be on the committee, we could still use a couple more members. Basically, you look through all the suggestions here to boil it down to some nominees for voting.

Plenty of posters with lower post/rep ratios won big awards last year. I agree that people who keep the boards filled with useful hockey info. often don't get repped enough. What seems to earn rep typically is humorous posts. But the Hookies have only a couple categories that are humor-related. The rest are related to other elements of being a poster - quality, team knowledge, etc.

We need more POTY nominees. We have a lot of threads here, so if you want to submit a post for consideration, look through them, pick one out, and post the link. Also, don't be shy about submitting yourself. A committee is going to look at all of these, so


Also, when you post a link, please put POST, THREAD, OR BOTH to make it easier for me when I go through and consolidate them all. Thanks! :)

I would never nominate myself. I figure I should have at least 8-10 nominations from all my quality work here.
