How are we doing the winners?

Is it just gonna be a vote from the readers?

Vote to get down to a two-three candidates, then a private vote among BtB members.

In instances of a conflict of interest, a non-BtB member of the SABR community will be brought in for consultation/vote replacement.

(I think that’s what we decided, anyway)

No, the vote is 50% community, 50% internal (internal = tiebreaker)

We decided to do that so that the community would have direct say in who wins the award, while we still get to maintain some ownership over the awards outcome.
