Richieball Awards

In the past, awards have been determined by an outside group of distinguished Richieball scorekeepers. This upcoming year, an exciting new system is being instituted. For the first time in history the players will decide who takes home the hardware. In order to ensure that only the most deserving players be presented with these prestigious awards, only players having achieved Veteran Status will enter ballots.

Most Valuable Player -- This award is given annually to the most outstanding player throughout the event.

Hustle and Spirit -- This honor, which can be bestowed upon either an individual player or collectively as a team, is given to the player or players who give the sport everything they've got.

Rookie of the Year -- This achievement is given annually to the first-year player who stands out above all other new-comers.

Come Back Player of the Year -- This award, although never presented, may be given to a player who exhibits impressive skills after having been in hiatus.

The Crooked Creek Award -- This honor is given to the player who has shown the most improvement from the previous year.

The Jimmy Elvis Award -- This dubious award, given if deemed necessary, is bestowed upon the duo that exhibits the most pathetic of efforts throughout the competition.
