Caleca Award Voting 2048

[woods]

Hey all. Below you’ll find the list of nominees for the Vic Caleca Team News of the Year award, which honors the beloved GM Vic Caleca, who always would pride himself on delivering quality writing. We hope to present the award each year to the Team News that best represents the quality content of which Vic would be proud (although the specifics of what that means are a bit subjective).

There will be just one unified Caleca award recipient for BBA and UMEBA.

If you are a GM in the BBA or the UMEBA, please vote for this award!



How to vote

Please send a PM to me as a RANKED CHOICE vote of the top three.

This means you can choose one team news, two, or three, but if you do more than one, rank them 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. We'll work on a 5-3-1 system of scoring, so your first choices get 5 points, second get 3, and third get 1 choice.

The deadline for voting will be this Saturday at 7PM Central. Hopefully that allows @Lane enough time to include the winning entry to the Media Guide if he wants.

Without further delay, the candidates, in alphabetical order by team. I hope you guys enjoy reading through these as much as I did putting the list together.
