Perhaps November and December wiill be amalgamated?
Yeah, quite possibly - I havent really studied the calendar but it might make sense...will revert on that!
To be fair, December looks quite sparse:
ATP Tour - 3 events in November, none in December
ATP Challenger Tour - 12 events , all would count as November (2 finish 6th Dec, start 30th Nov)
WTA Tour - Linz in Nov, Limoges (I think?) December
ITF Tours - December looks like it has a dozen or so events on both mens and womens tours, but not sure how many Brits will play across them.
Based on ITF and Limoges, play ends Sunday 20th December, but December looks sparse enough that Indy is right, we should amalgamate Nov and Dec.
So, I will aim for the October vote just after play closes Sunday 1st November. Nov/Dec joint vote, we will go through to play end Sunday 20th December.
Player of the season vote we can do as a Christmas and New Year special between Christmas and New Year to get everyone excited in what may be the weirdest of Holiday periods!
Just wondering- I had allocated places to our top ITF ranked players in the player of season event - but I dont know if ITF points are even being added beyond qualies and/or have any relevance anymore?
Am I being a little generous and should I take away these positions as they dont appear to have any relevance...?

I don't personally really follow ITF rankings at all so no idea on how they work these days. They certainly have had less relevance since the previous ATP and WTA ranking points for ITF MDs were largely restored.
They remain relevant for ordering entry lists, after account is first taken of ATP and WTA rankings, so the higher the ITF ranking ( with no ATP/WTA ranking ) the more chance of say getting into 15K qualifying.
I probably wouldn't count top ITF ranked but not fussed.

Yeah, Im with you and it looks like the points on offer arent going to have any impact on the rankings anyway (ITF rankings) so largely a mundane exercise in terms of determing a GB 2020 player of the year...updated list coming!

If Jamie Murray and Neal Skupski qualify for player of season, theyve both had nominations individually in the past so I'll have to think if they go into final poll as a pair or individuals.
Nominations list to date over course of year is now as per below: Jamie and Neal lead the way with only 1 month to go (Nov and Dec to be combined) meaning they will be at least equal top at year end. So well done to them for a decent years set of performances / body of work
