So, as Indy stated, that is me over and out. I love PoM and PoS, and really hope it carries on going. If there was someone willing to take it forwards as a commitment, please shout. If it needs splitting up so maybe one person takes it a month at a time, I would be happy to be part of that team and to sign up - we would have to work out the details offline - but I cant keep it going on my own.
We got 46 votes here in the final. With two of the earlier groups, 46 breaks the record for our PoM and PoS polls so that is really great.
Here are some final stats>
PoM and PoS Polls over each season
2020 - 25.75 votes on average
2021 - 30.2 votes on average (17% improvement)
2022 - 37.25 votes on average (23.5% improvement)
Overall, votes have improved by over 40% in total over the past two years
PoS finals
2021 PoS votes (through wildcard, groups, semis and finals) - 298 votes (37.25 average over 8 polls)
2022 PoS votes (through wildcard, groups, semis and finals) - 346 votes (43.25 average over 8 polls) - 48 votes or 16% improvement.
Never quite got the 50 votes, but did get the 40 I craved for a long while so we close on a high.
3 wins - Fran Jones (sorely missed) 3 wins - Emma Raducanu 3 wins - Sonay Kartal 3 wins - Cam Norrie 2 wins - Dan Evans
2 wins - Hannah Klugman
Joe Salisbury has 1 just one PoM (the first in Jan 2020, before Covid was a thing!) and Jack Draper has never won a PoM - Player of the Season and no PoM!! What is that about! Hahaha

of our 40 winners or joint winners of PoM or PoS awards over the 3 years, 24 have been women, 16 have been men. That includes two doubles pairings (all 4 counted in these numbers as winners).
in fact I was thinking the thing that makes this board so much well organised and better than as a resource than say the Tennis Forum / MTF is that structure:
things like
Predictions competition that TA runs Strongest Nation that Strongbow runs Monday rankings updates that CD produces across various rankings lists, top 500 etc, and then rankings update graphs from Aberdaberdonian etc The Friday feeling thread that DF and also Miriam ABC contribute to The weekly titles thread that Indy does The college updates that EP and Tennpar provide
Seagull's weekly entry list updates
SC and the mens results and draws updates
PeterToo and the womens results and draws updates, with doubles thrown in by TA
PoM and PoS of course
And I am sure there are many more that I havent included, but they came to mind.
That structure provides a framework and solidity to the board.
That and the fact most foks come here with good community spirit on bonhomie!
