What Has Turned Around Bryce Gibbs ??

Its also biased towards those who are actually playing, that is those who don't play cannot get a vote.

A necessary evil, I'm afraid. if you don't play, it is hard to impress the voting public.

Last year Gibbs and MANY others struggled in this area. Gibbs got rubbed out for multiple weeks for things the have since been severely under-punished. He then missed over half the season with injury. Very hard to impress in the medical rooms. Nor was he alone. By the end of the year we could barely field a team, and a number of guys couldn't play at all (Sheehan, for example, and Byrne, but for one short appearance).
It was one of the reasons we struggled. I don't think we had a full list for a single game.

To be honest, I hope our voting system is not there to justify the Match Committee's decisions, because they don't always get the right. Last year the MC did not have a good run. This year they appear to have had a better run. They made decisions that mystified me, but that worked out well. I hope the trend continues, but I will always criticize decisions that I think are dubious at best.
