Posted April 22, 200916 yr The MarlinsBaseball.com Awards will be taking place for the 7th time on Sunday August 9th at 8:00 PM Eastern. Eligibility for awards will be from June 1, 2008 - May 31, 2009. Judges will be selected in late May and nominating/voting will be in June and July. The selection of judges is done by me. The toughest awards to compile a list of nominations for each year is traditionally Thread of the Year and Post of the Year. To try and aid this from occurring again, if you feel a thread or post from the past year is worthy of an award -- suggest it for entry into the Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame can be found by clicking here. Not gaining entry into the Hall of Fame does not mean the thread/post will not be eligible to win the award in August. This simply will get the thread/post to be noticed by myself and everyone else including the potential judges. For those users who are new and do not know what the awards are, you can look back at the 2008 awards by clicking here.

April 22, 200916 yr I must be a shoo-in for "International Marlins Fan of the Year" as Schnellders won it illegally last year as technically, Scotland isn't a nation, it's an unwanted part of England we English fenced off many years ago.
April 22, 200916 yr Author If anyone has category ideas for this year's awards that were not in the 2008 version, please feel free to post them. The Judges and I will be considering all categories before the nominating starts.
April 22, 200916 yr I'm no longer a rookie, so I don't see myself winning an award...unless if there's one for asshole of the year. I'm sure I'd get some votes for that one. :cool
April 22, 200916 yr Author Rab of the Year. Reminds me of when I would have the Admin of the Year award. :mischief

I am ashamed to say up until now I was totally unaware I had actually won an award last year :blink: This year I am in Florida at the time of the awards so I guess I am making a special appearance for them :thumbup Hopefully defend my crown

The Judges and I will be considering all categories before the nominating starts. It might be a hassle to calculate but an idea could be to reward the poster who over the past year has achieved the most Marlins wins from the game threads that they start
April 22, 200916 yr This will be better than the Oscars, Emmys, and Grammys combined! But not Tonys.......
April 22, 200916 yr Oh yeaaaaaaaa! Its coming... Rachel, want to go with me? Im not blonde... :mischief Sure! We an do that. If you were blonde, I wouldn't even have responded to your post.

April 22, 200916 yr Most Improved Poster (don't know if we have that currently) Awesome Poster of the Year (not really any nominations, just a seperate part of the awards to honor PWG )
April 22, 200916 yr Author Most Improved Poster (don't know if we have that currently) We had that in the past, not sure if we used in the 2008 one.

It's bad enough we have people starting the game threads the night before the game.
April 23, 200916 yr I would like to see an award for the worst spelling/grammar. Isn't that...a little messed up?
April 23, 200916 yr I would like to see an award for the worst spelling/grammar. Isn't that...a little messed up? Eh, maybe you're right. Also, I'd like to see an award for Best Topic Poster. I have such a hard time coming up with new things to talk about...........
April 23, 200916 yr If we have a bunch of people posting youtube videos on the Awards thread again, I'm suspending them for the night. :aggressive
