GB Player of the Season - 2020 - finalists thread

brittak · Satellite level

Sounds good - you really are a glutton for punishment!! I think I already know who I am voting for!

Yes the main polling season all seems a long time ago but wasnt really but here we are in December and maybe the end of all this rubbish is in sight.....

Looking forward to these upcoming polls - a nice way to end the year and thanks to you for doing them.

If action next week finishes earlier for Brits than Sunday, the Pom polls will go up earlier also and the player of season polls will also go up sooner - basically , end of season polling will start once the brits are all done in mens, womens, juniors, singles and doubles.

Here is a list of the players who would currently qualify for the Player of the Season poll and the criteria.
The players are in red (the black names are where the player qualified through alternative routes, ie more than once) and we have 30 in total.
So, with EWS losing 2nd spot in the womens doubles listings, she loses her spot in the Player of Season listing.
We currently have 29 players, hopefully to be added to by the Nov/Dec PoM vote standings to round out 32.

in the event that the final 3 places arent filled from the nov / dec player of month awards, top 3 places, there are 3 alternatives lined up: alt 1 is for British Tour #1 (Grace Piper, arthur fery already qualified), alt 2 is British Tour 2nd place Anton Matusevich (lily mitazaki cant qualify due to nationality) and alt 3 will be British Tour #3 Nadia Rawson or Dan Little .

it is unlikely we will need 3 alternatives and may need nome at all

no nominations have been received by me via pm so I will close that option down now. The final 3 places will therefore go to nov amd dec Pom top 3 or the 3 alts above.
