guys, I appreciate that you want more votes, but can you please stop sending out PMs to big lists, I've gotten 6 of them so far.

can you be more specific as to whom you have received these from? that is pretty much frowned upon by team CC and there are several old cases like this in C&A... sad...-the black jesus

[alstergren]

Alstergren... Easy chocie look at his rank.. rating... medals

You realize those have nothing to do with running a successful tournament?

Of course it does... much more fun to get an invite from someone with a lot of bling.

I do not understand why a mass pm from a mod is not sent to everyone that is on CC--this would at least give everyone the knowledge that there is something to vote on.

I like both the TO's leading this and I like all the other players as well--but there is something wrong with this if everyone does not receive a chance to vote by having the knowledge that it is out there. Not everyone pays attention to threads and links on the side. Almost everyone would at least see a pm.

Just my two cents and damn two cents is not worth anything anymore.

I think there's a precedent for TOs sending PMs to past tourney participants. I was made aware that the other nominees were sending mass PMs, as well as having their friends send PMs on their behalf. Since it seemed that was the only way this was being advertised (other than the heavy traffic to the Tournaments General Info forum ), I felt it was only fair I sent one out too. Sorry jrh, and anyone else who felt spammed. That wasn't my intention.

I sent one out to people who have played in my tourneys. I didnt ask for their votes just asked for them to vote for their fav is all.. Sorry also jrh just wanted to get the word out since I only found out about this cuz someone told me ...Obviously this will be a popularity note not on the best stats anyways

Look at all that Swedish love

I'm surprised that ViperOverlord didn't get all 500+ players in his tourney to participate in this

Edit: When does voting end exactly? I sensed it'd be the 3rd of december because of reading 2 weeks from the time of the post, but I think that was a mistake on my part

Poll runs till 25 Nov 2010 18:29

For the record: We are evaluating how to run these kind of tournament contests in future, more specifically, how to organize the voting process in a way it is intended.

I'll nominate patrickaa317

Thank you barterer2002.

And after reading the posts throughout this, I don't think notifying many people is a bad thing. Heck, I actually had no idea this was even in the forum until someone PM'd me that they voted for me. Maybe there should be a link on the home page.

Haha - Thanks for letting me know about this thread Leehar. I'm tempted to send a pm to my 500 plus players and get them to vote, but I think the people have spoken lol. 20 to 30 (w/e the # is) tourneys is more significant than one big one, even if it it was the tourney with the most players haha. Congrats Alstergren, assuming you hang on to win this.

I'm optimistic that if the question was what was the best tourney by a rookie TO, I would have at least won that lol. That should be the next Award lol.

IMO, there should also be regular tourney awards, including best tourney overall and awards for holding a top 10 tourney for a given year.
