Dynasty/Association of the Year 2010!

[Martti.]

DYNASTY/ASSOCIATION OF THE YEAR 2010

Yes, it's finally here! Last year's contest wasn't very popular, but with so many new stories/associations running, I hope there will be more votes this year. I think it's a good time to kick it off, because 2K11 is coming out, as is Elite 11, though it's delayed.

This year will be the same as last year in two categories - Live dynasties and 2K associations.

Rules :

* You can't vote for your own dynasty/association
* Votes will be sent to me via PM.
* Voting ends on Oct. 20
* You can vote for any active dynasty/association, last update within the last 6 months. (By the story maker, don't just bump someone's old topic to make it eligible.)
* Winner will be selected in both sections separately, after which a new poll will start to choose the overall 'Story of the Year'.
* If you only follow stories in one section, just vote for the stories in that section.

Voting will be like this in both sections :

Live Dynasties :

1st : A's Hawks (10 points.)
2nd : B's Hawks (8 points.)
3rd : C's Hawks (6 points.)
4th : D's Hawks (4 points.)
5th : E's Hawks (2 points.)
6th : F's Hawks (1 points.)

2K Associations :

1st : A's Hawks (10 points.)
2nd : B's Hawks (8 points.)
3rd : C's Hawks (6 points.)
4th : D's Hawks (4 points.)
5th : E's Hawks (2 points.)
6th : F's Hawks (1 points.)

Get voting.

The winner will get this prestigious trophy :

[Lamrock]

For further reference, here are what I'd consider to be the top 10 nominees, in order of # of views (as of like a month ago).:

Sit - A Legend Is Born III
Jae - Baltimore Claws
Valor - Road To Glory II
Lamrock - 'Saur Losers
Jae - How Dan Gilbert Saved Cleveland
Justine. - Play Loud!
TheMC5 - Balls To The Wall In Montreal
antho - Scal Says
john26 - Remember 2000 (Raptors Association)
Lamrock - Nellieball! (Pg. 6-18)

Sorry to any and all that I snubbed. Just compiled these for the voters so they know which stories qualify and such. Shame hova-'s Cats and Valor's Nets missed the cutoff.

[Fresh8]

I hope we get more than 7 voters this time round!

[Valor]

I hope we get more than 7 voters this time round!

That
and Lamrock, I don't think ALIB II makes the cut either unfortunately (or else it's a back-to-back for sure) Sit retired it late Jan/early Feb

[Lamrock]

Fixed. Probably for the best since their the same story and it would be unfair if votes for his were split between the two (or he had both the #1 and #2 spots)

[Valor]

Agreed

It should be eligible as it ran for half of the 2009-2010 period.

But if it's not gonna be eligible, I like what Lamrock did before and make it a combined vote.

I wish that was the case, since my Nets one would be eligible then also but Martti's rule is that it must have been updated in the last 6 months, sorry bro you'll win it unanimously anyway

[Houndy]

If Sit does a ALIB 4 with the Bobcats, and it's successful, it's auto association of the year.

[Andrew]

Stickied for convenience. I'll put up a main page post as well.

[dare]

[George7]

[kibaxx7]

I voted for my blog and for the Nets. Good one Jae.

Seriously, just sent my PM a couple of hours ago.

[|)e8*]

LOL JAE

[Martti.]

Thanks for voting, things have picked up compared to last year.

So far I have 13 votes for Live dynasties and 10 for Associations. (+1 for both with my votes)

Keep voting.

I'm going to post the results in just 1 topic, as there are more Live votes, I guess in that section.

[Lamrock]

Nah, you should post the results in both.

[Murat]

PM'd my vote, here it is for everyone else to see:

1st: The Blueprint™ • The Formula Of Fear - Thierry
2nd: My sports journalism blog • Rip City :: Uprise! - Thierry
3rd: • Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler (2-1) - Thierry
4th: |:: Touch The Sky ♦ - Thierry
5th: ♦ Rewriting Destiny :: Miami Heat ♦ - Thierry
6th: .: SacrificingEverythingButBelief :. - Thierry

Me too.

[rise]

Same but I include a couple of Badger's as well.

[Martti.]

Okay, so the first votes have been counted and the leader board looks like this :



So the 3 dynasties/associations with the most votes will now square off for the title 'Story of the Year', like we did last year.

So still in the running :

Martti. - Milwaukee Bucks | (Topic.)
Badreligionau - Denver Nuggets | (Topic.)
Clutch - Golden State Warriors | (Topic.)

Sit - Seattle Stealth | (Topic.)
Valor - Chicago Bulls | (Topic.)
Lamrock - Toronto Raptors | (Topic.)

I liked that there were many votes. There were a few solitary votes and many voted for on just section, so here please vote for all the stories. Just give them a glance or if you don't want to, vote however you like or not at all.

The voting is like this :

Story of the Year :

1st : A's Hawks (10 points.)
2nd : B's Hawks (8 points.)
3rd : C's Hawks (6 points.)
4th : D's Hawks (4 points.)
5th : E's Hawks (2 points.)
6th : F's Hawks (1 points.)

* You have to vote for all.
* You can vote 'til the end of October.
* Votes to me via PM.

[Lamrock]

Hell yes! I medaled. Take that Jaesus! No chance of cracking the top 5 though.

[J@3]

Surprised my Cavs story got so many votes, it wasn't that good. The Claws one probably suffered because I got lazy in the 2nd/3rd seasons.

[Houndy]

Damn Lamrock, you medaled with an incomplete Association.

[Lamrock]

U mad?

[Houndy]

U mad?

I mad.
