Thats not quite fair to us. Building an awards committee was something we wanted to do to improve awards season due to the popular demand, and the majority of HO/GMs voted on it which is why we have it this year. Yet, of course, it still isn't perfect and probably never will be.
Also, GM is essentially a write-in vote. The nominees are just reflective of who got votes, basically. Just because MB only got 2 votes doesn't mean they weren't second for some that voted differently. I personally voted for Minnesota for the team they built to win the ultimini, and MB was a very close second and I honestly might have voted differently had they won. Portland I can't explain, I don't think they had a shot this year (and I'm saying this as a former Python and LR member) although next season may be a different story depending on how it shakes out.
I took this position to improve this league and we do a lot of what would be considered extra. Hell, just being in a league job in general is extra work, nobody has to take a job here. The rulebook didn't necessarily need to be improved. But Bex did it anyway. The rookie guide didn't really have to be improved. But I did it anyway. Manic didn't have to take on being a simmer along with his HO duties and didn't have to stick around an extra season when he planned on stepping down due to others quitting unexpectedly. But he did it anyway. And these are just examples from HO that I know of, and I know a ton of other dedicated GMs, RMs, PPT members, sim team members, updaters, graders, and department heads that do all extra work to improve the way things are done here.
I appreciate any sort of feedback, positive or negative, and I take any ideas to improve the league seriously because in the end I want what is best for the league. We aren't perfect, we will make mistakes that are fair to call out, and as the league evolves our work here will never be done. Call us out on our mistakes, tell us what we are doing wrong, or what we could do better, and feel free to provide any ideas you have to improve the league. But I will not let you say that we aren't willing to take on extra work or that we aren't interested in improving things. Want to improve things? Start by getting a league job.
