Help! The Provincials are only a few days away and I need input on who should be considered for the following annual awards:
Promoter of the Year
Rookie of the Year
Most Improved Puller
Murray Park Memorial Sportsmanship Award
In the past I requested feedback about a month out from Provincials, but my attention has been scattered on a lot of different things this year. Please state who you think would be worthy recipients of the awards listed above. I’ll make a tally of all names put forth between now and Wednesday night and the top 4 or 5 will be part of the official ballot. All OAA members will then have a chance to vote for the winners on Saturday.
I haven’t attended many Ontario tournaments in the past year and a half, and though I’ve been following results, I’d really like to hear from those who have been active on the Ontario circuit.

Craig - Did you ever receive the Murray Park Award? I'm trying to trace it. I know Al Aubin had it but he didn't attend Provincials in 2013.

Shut up Craig, LOL, I would have to agree with Ryan for Murray. Besides being a pain sometimes, lol, few people spend as much time with new pullers showing them and after pulling with them. He has been a HUGE leader on our team and is almost unexhaustable on the table. I have a hard time pushing our team mates but in this case I will make an exception!
