Here's a screenshot of what we did a couple years ago. For this year, I'm thinking of cutting this down to just: (1) overall series top 5, (2) sportsmanship, (3) social chair, (4) most improved, and (5) PRO.</span><br><span></span><br><span>PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP IF ANYONE HAS ANY THOUGHTS ON WHICH AWARDS WE SHOULD GIVE OUT. I'll send out a survey in the next couple days to determine winners of the awards that need a vote. </span><br><span></span><br><span>To give some rationale for some of the ones I'm proposing to skip, I think the assistance-with-distress award overlaps pretty significantly with sportsmanship, and I think best crew ends up being a little arbitrary when we have a lot of spectacular crews in this fleet and not everyone has had a chance to sail with each other. But I'm open to persuasion if others feel differently. </span><br><span></span><br><span>Next year it might make sense to add trophies for the spring, summer, and fall series, but I'm DIYing these trophies and I don't think I'd have the time to do more than the first place boat for each, which this year would be redundant to our series podium finishers (and a little self serving).</span><br><span></span><br><span>Sam</span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
