HOW A WINNER IS SELECTED

The Most Outstanding Player (MOP) Award winner will be determined using a weighted point system to ensure fairness and accuracy in the selection process. First, fans and the Selection Committee will vote to select the top 5 finalists in each classification. Each fan vote will count as 1 point, while each Selection Committee vote will count as 10 points. The five players with the highest combined point totals will advance as finalists. Once the finalists are determined, the Selection Committee alone will vote to select the winner. Each committee member will rank the finalists, with 1st place receiving 25 points, 2nd place receiving 20 points, 3rd place receiving 15 points, 4th place receiving 10 points, and 5th place receiving 5 points. The player with the highest total score will be named the Most Outstanding Player of the Year for their classification. Winners will be officially announced in April.
