Tournament Contest: Rookie TO Award - Winner: alstergren

[sonicsteve]

Curses.

I started my first tournament on April 29th, 2 days before the cut-off - so no chance even if someone was gonna nominate me.

In order to qualify as a "Rookie TO", your nominee must have started creating tournaments within the last 6 months, in other words his/her first tournament must have been created after 1st May 2010.

By creation date, you mean the date it was first posted in the Create/Join forum?
Or the date when the first games were made?

Where was this award back in December when I first started running tournaments? Last I checked, rookies were rookies for a full year.

It's a rookie of the year 2010 but only the 2nd half

I don't really see the point of this award.

[HighlanderAttack]

alstergren is also someone who deserves recognition--I will probably think of more as I am playing--he has created many new tourneys all in a timely manner and run very professionally.

Tomorrow I am sure I will find another nomination

[Streaker]

Fine.

I nominate drunkmonkey.

Not too sure about the exact date of his first tourney, but he made a couple really interesting and inovating ones.

Like 'The Eliminator'.




edit: corrected tournament title

It's rookie of the half-year. lol

If you are rewarding it should be something like Oscars
with multiple categories for the whole past year.

Not sure if merch313 has been running them longer than six months--I think it is pretty close--anyway-if he can be nominated I nominate him. He is running more active tourneys than anyone--he runs all of them in a timely manner--they have neat little graphics and charts--an all around fantastic job.

dr.lucas would be my second nomination--he has been doing a great job with a few concepts--always in a timely manner--just an overall great job


There seem to be many decent new TO's but these are the two that stand out in my mind right now.

To answer amazzony's question, please nominate only 1 Tournament Organiser, then there will be a public vote once all nominations have been received.

Did you manage to miss Tupence's post?

I also have a few more I'd be willing to nominate, but obviously I can't any longer

[Sniper08]

I nominate Merch313. He has done a great job in organising tournaments.

[Tupence]

Thanks for all your nominations so far; I've added the nominations that have been accepted to the first post and will keep updating it.

There will be a series of Awards to follow this one, and this one may repeat periodically. To those who only just missed out on the creation date, sorry but it's got to start somewhere! There will be more awards that you'll be eligible for.

And to answer tokle's question, the date refers to the time the thread was first created.

Keep the nominations coming!

I don't have time to read everything--Evidently a lot of people have not seen this thread based on the response. I do believe the three I nominated should be accepted, but that is not my decision

LOL. Just saw this... in that case, I would nominate myself then.

With 41 completed tourneys since June, 14 ongoing tourneys and 4 new tourneys in the call out forum (three concepts - Beta 2010 concept, Nuclear concept and the new more comprehensive Classic concept), think I would at least qualify for a nomination here... Quite some dedication on my part since this summer I think
