Shaggy 62 Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) Hello, ladies and gentlemen here is something that crossed my mind to try on the forum - An awards thread! How it will work For your choice on the award, you simply put your choice down and a reason for why it is your choice if someone agrees they can upvote it. Once we have a few nominations they will be shortlisted into a final vote after around a week or so. Now for the awards Rider of the year - Shortlist announced 11th November - Robert Lambert, Jason Doyle, Dan Bewley Most impressive team - Shortlist announced 18th November Team rider of the season - Shortlist announced 25th November One to watch - Shortlist announced 2nd December Bulldog award (Best British rider) - Shortlist announced 9th December Meeting of the season - Shortlist announced 16th December Surprise of the season - Shortlist announced 23rd December Underperformers (Team) - Shortlist announced 30th December Unluckiest rider - Shortlist announced 6th January Newcomer of the season - Shortlist announced13th January Get voting everyone *Delete if not allowed* Edited November 11, 2018 by Shaggy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However. maybe you have gone for too many awards in one go. It may prove difficult to control given all of the permutations that are likely. why not go for one award per week and finalise nominations with a reply per nomination then all we will have to do is "like" the appropriate reply/nomination. May help pass the winter months - Good luck 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
