Yellow Sash Award

For those of you who aren't familiar with the Yellow Sash Award, have a look at this:

This is how the voting system works:

Each week, a link to a player list will be posted on the Yellow and Black website. Site members must give each player votes using the following criteria:

• 3 points = outstanding game
• 2 points = very good game
• 1 point = solid, handy, useful game
• 0 points = didn't do enough/beaten by opponent/too many errors

The voting for each round will close on Thursday mornings (or as soon as work commitments permit). As a different number of Members will cast votes each week, every player's total will be divided by the number of voters to arrive at their average score for that round.

Only votes given using each week's form will be counted. The votes are collated directly from the spreadsheet on Google Docs meaning that members won't be able to view each other's votes until voting has closed for that Round.

In the case of duplicate votes received for the same round from the same member, only the first votes posted by that Member will count - any duplicates will be deleted.

A 'sticky' thread will be created on the website to record the Year to Date standings of each player. This thread will be open to discussion.
