how can we get a copy of how the votes were... voted. Ya know how do we get to see who voted for who in the conference awards

[A.J. Stevens]

Your head coach can send me an email asking for the information. We will have everything ready after noon today. Div 1AA will not be complete until Iowa finishes there ballot. Last but not least, I have nothing to do with Div II voting.

[A.J. Stevens]

Division 1A awards are back up. The team is unchanged. We gave all of the coaches an opportunity to amend their vote because of a typo on the nomination form. None wanted to change their vote. A note of advice...in the future ask for what you want rather than whining to everyone in sight and having parents call the commissioner. (It reminded me of little league all-stars)

[Madlax16]

Since you said its the 1A awards above, are there going to be 1AA awards?

[Madlax16]

Nevermind, didnt see Aj's post.

4. Joe O' Malley

Att. Illinois Games 16 G 23 A 31 P 54 GPG 1.44 APG1.94 PPG 3.38

35. Brian Nix

Att Lindenwood Game 17 G 29 A 0 P 29 GPG 1.71 APG 0.00 PPG 1.71

that's unfair! his stats are better because he played 1 more game...oh wait

P.S. That zero next to his Nix's assists is not a typo, unlike the typo A.J. Stevens made when he said O'Malley had [b]8 goals 6 assists and 5 points[/b] on the list he gave to the coaches.

[Madlax16]

Not trying to attack anyone but complaining will never change the decisions. There are a lot of politics involved in voting for players in all-confrence and all-am. The best player on paper may not always get the highest place in post season accolades.
Also, one has to take in account the strength of schedule. If some one on our team were to get that many goals and assists ( if we were 1A) we probably would be lucky to even get on the list, due out our weak level of opponents (on average).
And from what i've experienced in the high school level voting for players for post season accolades, sometimes ( not saying all the time, or most of the time) a player might not get a vote due to external feelings towards a certain player or club. Life happens. Whatever.

There are a ton of factors in determining who is or should get the slot on first team, second team etc. All whining is gonna do is get the ppl who set up and run the system ticked off, and that doesn't help anyone.

This happens in every sport and every league. These awards recipients are selected subjectively. Welcome to life!

[A.J. Stevens]

I made a typo when putting together the ballot. Each Div 1A coach was notified of the error. NOT ONE COACH WANTED TO CHANGE HIS VOTE. Again....each coach is aware of the correct stats and still did not want to amend their ballot. They can vote for whomever they please regardless of what other teams think about it. I made an error on the ballot and it was corrected quickly and fairly.
