Sir Andy Murray 2024 Player of the Month and Season Awards - overview thread


this is a thread which Ill use to provide general updates on the 2024 player of the month and season votes and results as the season progresses. 

Im going to shortly post the past PoM and PoS rolls of honour and the 2024 calendar of dates for each month in terms of cut offs etc for each vote. 

But this first post is to confirm the method of qualifying for 2024 Player of the Season: 

a) Each player of the month from December 2023 through December 2024 - ie 13 months of votes

b) Each player of the month vote runner up and tied for Dec 23 through Dec 24 

c) Each British number one in mens and womens singles, mens and womens doubles, junior boys and girls, wheelchair mens, womens and quad singles - number ones as of end December 24

d) Any British player winning a grand slam or Olympic/Paralympic title in mens, womens, singles and doubles, mixed doubles, junior boys and girls singles and doubles, wheelchair mens, womens, quad singles and doubles. 

I am aware that some of the grand slams have other events like legends, under 14 invitational (Wimbledon), wheelchair boys and girls (French Open) but these are quite new and small fields and less developed so I wont give the winners entry into Player of the Season, if we have any. That said, a win in any of those may be worthy of a Player of the Month nomination, so let's keep an eye out for them

e) I am aiming at the usual 28 qualifiers for PoS - if we are short we will round out the numbers with wild cards. If we get 28 or more from the above routes, we will make the field 32, 36 or 40 etc depending on where we land to allow us to still have wild cards as per this year via a nomination and Wild card vote process

the 2024 player of the season vote will take place in early January 2025 and aim to complete before the Australian Open 2025 starts.

And here is the 2024 calendar for player of the month: each month is 4 or 5 weeks.

December 2023 - nominations close Sunday 31st December (ie end week 52 of 2023)

January 2024 - Sunday 28th January (ie end of Australian Open, end of week 4)

February 2024 - Sunday 3rd March (ie end week 9)

March 2024 - Sunday 31st March (ie end of Miami, end of week 13)

April 2024 - Sunday 28th April (ie end of week 17, mid way through Madrid *)

May 2024 - Sunday 26th May ( ie end of week 21, just before French Open)

June 2024 - Sunday 30th June (ie end of week 26, just before Wimbledon)

July 2024 - Sunday 28th July (ie end of week 30, as Paris Olympics tennis begins)

August 2024 - Sunday 25th August (ie end of week 34, as the US Open begins)

September 2024 - Sunday 29th September (ie end of week 39)

October 2024 - Sunday 3rd November (ie end of week 44, end of Paris Indoor)

November 2024 - Sunday 1st December (ie of week 48)

December 2024 - Sunday 29th December (ie end of week 52)

Player of the Season votes will then run:

Wild Card Vote - Thursday 2nd January to Friday 3rd January

PoS Round One - Saturday 4th January to Sunday 5th January

PoS Semifinals - Monday 6th January to Tuesday 7th January

PoS Final - Wednesday 8th January to Thursday 9th January

The 2024 AO then begins a week or so later.

* the April PoM takes place after Madrid starts, but if it didnt, we would have a 3 week period in April or May. Madrid only starts a few days before and has a week left after PoM so Madrid results will count towards May PoM, although other non 1000 events wont be impacted.

A couple of notes re voting this year:

Firstly, if the Nominations list is 20 or fewer, there will just be one straight vote. Last season, when we had a clash of a player maybe being nominated in a pair and alone, I created groups. This year, that practice has finished and it will be one straight vote.

Secondly, when there are more than 20 nominations, we will still have a group stage as the polling tool only allows a maximum limit of 20 voting options.

 Worthy of note - remember any winners of majors, in the mens/womens, juniors or wheelchair events automatically get a slot in the player of the season vote.

Winning Grand Slam titles today, Alfie/Gordon and Andy join the list of PoS qualifiers - still seems strange saying that in January but every month and every slam win is equal!

Worth noting that those who have qualified thus far may well also get in through other routes, such as being top of their particular ranking category

 My plan, which may vary, is for PoM votes to put them up on the Monday morning after the nominations close on a Sunday, and then run them through to the Tuesday evening. So a 36 hour voting slot

However, where the nominations list is large enough to require a semifinal vote (like January) I will put the semis up on the Sunday evening for 24 hours and then run the final thereafter; this month I have gone for 2 days for the final as I felt the vote could be very tight, but normally I will put the final up on the Tuesday morning and run it for 36 hours until the Wednesday evening, when there are groups. 

I reserve the right to vary these plans though!!

For Player of the Season - the 36 hour per round process worked well before Xmas, so I will do that again, although it will, of course, be in early January for the PoS 2024 vote.

In case anyone is wondering, there will be a Feb player of the month nominations thread coming up later this evening, once we have the vote for January out of the way.

I can see a candidate or two starting to maybe put their hand up for that thread as I type!

As an aside, although I really enjoy player of the month and season as a process, and weve tinkered with the format to make it work with less effort, I have generally found it time consuming. Less so now. And now Im using ChatGPT to sort the groups (although that was a little frustrating as it kept insisting Anna Brogan is a junior still (it uses old data from pre 2023 I think ?) and struggled with the two doubles pairs in the groups).

Nonetheless i enjoy doing it; but Ive decided to maybe follow Andy Murrays lead and think about this as my last season. So Im aiming at doing this whole year through to the end of 2024 December Player of the Month and then see myself out by doing 2024 Player of the Season in early January 2025.

By then it will be 5 years, we could have a new British Government and a new US President and it feels like a good time to hand it over. So nearer the time, maybe around October or November, Ill ask to see if anyone is interested in taking it over and moving it forwards. A fresh hand may choose to change one or two things and that may be a good thing!

But for now, another 11 months of PoMs to go (lets beat 50 votes one month!) and a Player of the Season to anoint (lets beat 60 in that!).
