poy Player of the Year - Updates

[Scotty]

Trying to keep up to date with the Player of the Year standings this year !!! I have updated my magic spreadsheet where i enter the poll results and let it spit out the numbers .... so it should not be a huge task if I do it each month and stay up to date ..... so without further adieu, here are the details for July 2017

• 4 Matches this month in the League Cup : Brechin, Stirling, Falkirk and Forfar
• A total of 237 votes cast for 13 different players
• A total of 42 POY points awarded
• One player received 5 points in 3 of the 4 games, another received 5 points in 2 of the games (there was a joint winner in the Stirling game). These are the early leaders
• Player of the month for July with a massive 70 votes is Collin Seedorf with Iain Vigurs way behind in second (38 votes) and George Oakley third (26 votes)
• Leader in the POY standings is of course the aforementioned Collin Seedorf who has more points than all the other players combined except Iain Vigurs who is close behind him.

A little note as to how we work out the points and standings

• For every game people can give out their top 3 votes (5,3,1) to three players
• At the end of the voting period for each game we calculate not only the total votes cast (regardless of value) but also total combined points value of the 5/3/1 point votes
• The player with the highest combined points value in each game gets 5 POY points, second gets 3 and third gets 1. If there is a tie then we just issue both players with the relevant number of points 
• At the end of the month we tally up both the number of votes cast and the POY points earned that month
• The player with the highest vote quantity - regardless of points value - is the Player of the Month. 
• The POY points total does not affect Player of the Month award. This gives players who might amass a large number of 2nd or 3rd place votes an equal chance at being POM despite not sitting on top of the overall rankings.
