This is what will be included on the ballot sheet:

Team of the Year Points

 Scenario A:
• Unlimited number of team members
• Only best five placings at circuit events count for points (5 points for 1st, 4 points for 2nd, 3 points for 3rd, 2 points for 4th, 1 point for 5th)
• All team members who compete in a circuit event automatically earn 1 point (regardless of number of categories entered)
• Tournament Director, Referees, Scorekeeper, and Emcee earn 1 point each (if someone has two roles such as scorekeeper/emcee, only 1 point is earned)

 Scenario B:
• Maximum of 10 members per team can earn points at circuit events
• All team members earn points for up to two classes (one right and one left). If a competitor pulls multiple classes with the same arm, the better result will count (5 points for 1st, 4 points for 2nd, 3 points for 3rd, 2 points for 4th, 1 point for 5th).
• All team members who compete in a circuit event automatically earn 1 point (regardless of number of categories entered)
• Tournament Director, Referees, Scorekeeper, and Emcee earn 1 point each (if someone has two roles such as scorekeeper/emcee, only 1 point is earned)
