There really was only one winner in this category from very early on, and it's deserved imo anyways.

Kudos LeVar, your second award of the night!!!

Awww, you guys!!!

They like me! They really like me!

And I could've won without even having to vote for myself... (it was so much fun to host I couldn't help but vote for it)

I did think Necro had this one in the bag, 10 categories in such a short time was impressive.

I'm gonna add all these wins to my CV. :pac:

An incredibly fun game, agreed on this choice. I wouldn't be against a second round of this or Shepherdy

Not to throw a spanner in the works but was I supposed to put my nominees in order of preference or how are points allocated/calculated.
If there were 16 voters how can an event have more than 16 points? Or could you vote for the same nominee multiple times?

Votes were weighted.

So in a pick three - first choice gets 5 points, second choice gets 3 and third gets 2.

As an eg.

Delighted that everyone likes the advent calendar so much

Agreed, they're the truest version I think. Hard to think of categories though

Necro

Next up we move to the toughest category of the night.

I wouldn't have it any other way either, given the heatedness of some of them


It's

Best Forum Game Tournament

I'm very glad the absolutely mammoth effort Strawbs went to her for her tournament got a lot of recognition here, it was incredible with mountains of organisation.

Kolido starting off the tournament decades with the 80s was the start of a great run of tournaments too.

Well done guys.

An amazing round the world trip courtesy of Omack - very much deserving of all the votes as well.

Electric Nitwit

I voted for three tournaments, none have been and there's two places left...

...I will lose my shıt!

Necro

In SECOND Place with 59 Points


Necro’s Greatest Christmas Song Ever



https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2058138472

I think that I lucked out here given it was fresh in people's memory and also it was a seasonal tournament. Very much appreciated the votes though

Necro

And in FIRST Place – with a HUMONGOUS 69 Points



Omackeral’s Ultimate Irish Landmarks




https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2058119400

It simply had to be, imo. An All-Ireland with a twist, and some shocks along the way in the county showdowns to boot.


All compiled excellently by an incredible game host.


(He's got a new tournament taking nominations at the moment too btw)

Agreed - could probably win boards thread of the year, if there was such a thing. Joyful and educating from start to finish

I like to imagine Mackers sat in a cave somewhere now, not caring at all about awards. Maybe eating a raw cow. He'll emerge to run the sports venues, then disappear again

Necro

Three left to go and then it's all over for another year....

Next up...
