EKL Seasonal Awards

Every year, awards are given out as voted on by the owners. The awards for Best and Worst Auction are voted on before play begins. The remaining awards are voted on at the end of the season.

Many awards are no longer given out, or were only active for a short period of time. These now defunct awards are still listed below as well.

The most valuable player-based awards ("M," "R," and FAAB) are all voted on at season's end. Voting for these awards encourages owners to look at the manager's usage of that player, as well as what value that player may provide as a keeper. However, the ultimate interpretation of how to vote is left to the owner, and a true consensus is rarely reached.
