Time for what has turned into a new annual tradition, the study of the bias of awards voters. This year was looking a little trickier due to the voting reform that passed last offseason, but I was luckily provided the ranked voting results from a friendly local goose. So this will continue to work the same way it has previously. I.e. if Player X finished 3rd in their positional award, but their GMs voted them as 1st, the GMs get a -2. If they instead left them out of their top three, they get +1, etc. Then I calculate the average of all the scores to get a final number. So if your score is -0.5, you voted the players in question 0.5 spots higher than they finished on average.
DSFL results to follow soon after.
