canvey!! Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Best Challenge Idea All good challenges need a good idea, but some less successful challenges also have a good idea. The best ideas, such as dafuge’s challenge which won in 2007, are celebrated here. The award goes to… “Real London CSE – Small Club to Big Club Forum Challenge” with 13 votes out of 30. Nepenthez scoops another award for a brilliant idea. Extremes of Europe came close but its competition for Best Failed Challenge too might have cost it. The create-a-club challenge with a difference takes this home. Near Misses Britain and India Challenge Next: Sign-Ups Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

canvey!! Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Sign-Ups Best Sign-Up The celebration of the best sign-up of the year. There was some real quality this year, and while Eurovision Striking Contest, last year’s winner and wisla’s First Ever Sign-Up from 2007 were both fantastic, the winner can say they have fought away even fiercer opposition. The award goes to… The Race for the Whitehouse with 11 votes out of 30. The voting proves my point about the quality of sign-ups, with first, second and third all separated by one vote. In the end, my own sign-up, notable for its story basis and need for participation, wins the award.

canvey!! Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Commercial Break Did you know there’s an easier way to find out the best threads in the forum than organising an awards ceremony? When viewing a thread, you will see a ‘Rate Thread’ button towards the top of the screen (just above the first post of the page). When you click on this, you get: Rate the threads you visit regularly to tell everyone else about how good…or bad, you think they are. A thread needs 10 ratings to display one, but these ratings can be used to help you choose a thread to read, or can be used in future in conjunction with the guides. Give it a try...rate this thread.

canvey!! Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Best Sign-Up Idea A sign-up doesn’t have to be a roaring success to have had a good idea. This award, which has been won in the past by When Two Islands go to War: Shetland vs. Orkney and The Apprentice: Football Manager Edition, marks out some of the better ideas from the past 12 months. The award goes to… 60 to One with 15 votes from 29. It was a close fight, but my, Ridleys’s and weeeman27bob’s sign-up wins this award. The idea of three chances to win gives a simple sack-race formula an edge.

canvey!! Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Best Failed Sign-Up At last, a sign-up award which I won’t win! It’s good to give the others a chance, even if it’s only a consolation prize for a potentially good sign-up that didn’t work out, like Hom3r’s Interesting Sign-Up in 2007 and It Could be You Who’s Crap last year. The award goes to… Conquer the World… once you’ve conquered Oceania with 18 votes out of 30. There is a convincing win for Walcott’s Wonderkids despite some good opponents for the award. An OOTP sign-up based on propelling Oceania nations to success with money, although it ended prematurely, it did not go unnoticed. Near Misses There were no near misses for this award.

canvey!! Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Experiments Best Experiment Although this is the thinnest area of the three, it is always an honour to win Best Experiment. AI Experiment, What Would Happen If? won it last year and its successor looks to be the favourite. The award goes to… AI Experiment – The Bandits are back for FM09 with a staggering 24 votes out of 30. Congratulations to the opposition who tugged 6 votes off kipfizh, but foremost congratulations to him. The fundamental experiment which inspired all others, it was hard to see anyone else coming close.

Walcott\'s Wonderkids Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 From 'best sign up' last year to 'best failed sign up' this year... sums up my year on the forums really - haven't been around enough to make a sustained contribution.

I do still love the overall OOTP concept though and with the proposed new competition editor, I may pop up with a small scale OOTP idea in the new year (I have a couple of ideas), that I can efficiently run if things at work have quieten / settled down.

canvey!! Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Best Experiment Idea There’s a fairly good way of telling what idea is a good one: you end up wanting to run the experiment yourself. AI Experiment – Birth of a New Nation won it last year, and the winner has had a good idea regardless of its execution and or success. The award goes to… ***The AI Era – Forza Savona!!*** and AI Experiment – an extreme league in an ordinary world each with 11 votes from 30. Two brilliant ideas, and two worthy of recognition. The voting was close, so close that it was actually inseparable, and gives the second award to be split this evening. Congratulations to both.

canvey!! Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Most Important Experiment Findings Some experiments are run for experience, some for fun and some actually want to find something out. It is the latter that we reward with this award, won last year by What Would Happen If?. The award goes to… English Regen Analysis with 14 votes out of 29. roversawh7 has prevented kipfizh from winning a second award for this and for the night and comes just short of a majority. Perhaps revisiting similar circumstances put the Bandits behind, whereas this pioneering experiment broke fresh ground. Near Misses There were no near misses for this award.
