It’s that time of year again! Time to vote for your choice of “above and beyond” members of our league. There are three different awards to vote on (listed below). Please take the time to read about each award, then vote for whomever you think best represents each category. Your vote does not necessarily have to be for someone from your own team. The award winners will be recognized at the upcoming annual NSS Banquet which in on Friday, November 10.
The system will allow you to vote more than once, however only your FINAL vote will count. This allows you to change your mind, but not “stuff the ballot box.”
These awards always mean a lot to whomever is lucky enough to be the recipient. There are plenty of qualified players and managers for each of these awards, so please take the time to vote for whomever you think is most deserving.
