Voting Guidelings? A simple mathematical formula, that you
don't have to know, is difficult (number in, number out, you
change nothing, you do nothing) but now we need voting guidelines???

MVP awards in many professional sports leagues have been
fought over and disputed for years because of much simpler
worded definitions (best player on the team, best player on
the best team, best player on the team that won, best player
on the worst team in the league...meow meow meow...the only
constant is that most people disagree with the selected
recipient, all for different reasons)

Excellent group. Form a grudge team and kick the crap out
of Shushan. What's this got to do with the rest of us and
Player Ratings?

Is that one or three or the same with bad glasses? What
happened to 1 point for finishing, 1 point if your team won,
and 1 point if you're voted MVP? Let the players who vote
define MVP for themselves, otherwise we're into listing infinite
"characteristics" and asking for a rating out of 12.4...
