stevon Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 Hi, Could you PLEASE put all questions about the nominations here please. It makes it easier for me to answer them and to tally up the votes and not having to read through pages of conversation/questions/responces/etc. Â The first nominations will be up shortly. Before asking a question, check the How the UKFF Awards work thread to make sure your question hasn't already been addressed by Moorish. Â Thanks.
Storm1:08 Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 I have a question How many nominations can you make per category? i take it its just one, but i thought you would like a question to answer and feel all important.
stevon Posted December 8, 2004 Author Posted December 8, 2004 You can vote for as many different wrestlers/matches/angles as you like, but you can't vote for the same wrestler/match/angle more than once.
Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted December 8, 2004 Paid Members Posted December 8, 2004 Q: In the UK Match of the Year, does it have to have a UK competitor in it?
stevon Posted December 8, 2004 Author Posted December 8, 2004 Yes, at least one. You can nominate other matches of the year in the Match of 2004 nominations.It also has to have taken place in the UK as well.
stevon Posted December 8, 2004 Author Posted December 8, 2004 To answer TMAs question in the other thread, yes, Nigel McGuiness counts as a UK Wrestler of 2004 candidate. Anyone who was born in Britain and is actually BRITISH counts.
ThatsRightILikePeterKay Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 What about Harry Smith? He's spent the last 10 years of his life in Canada & His mother is canadian but his father is British. DOES HE COUNT?
stevon Posted December 8, 2004 Author Posted December 8, 2004 What about Harry Smith? He's spent the last 10 years of his life in Canada & His mother is canadian but his father is British. DOES HE COUNT? Where was he born?
Paid Members JNLister Posted December 8, 2004 Paid Members Posted December 8, 2004 Does the UK wrestler of the year have to have wrestled at least one match in the UK this year?
stevon Posted December 8, 2004 Author Posted December 8, 2004 Does the UK wrestler of the year have to have wrestled at least one match in the UK this year? Nope.
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted December 8, 2004 Awards Moderator Posted December 8, 2004 What about Harry Smith? He's spent the last 10 years of his life in Canada & His mother is canadian but his father is British. DOES HE COUNT? To paraphrase Paul Merton, my furniture comes from Sweden, can I be Swedish?
stevon Posted December 8, 2004 Author Posted December 8, 2004 No points or prizes in finding big loopholes on who is actually British, just name who you think is the best British wrestler of 2004 and if you think that its Harry Smith, I worry.
bazhsw Posted December 9, 2004 Posted December 9, 2004 Does it make sense to allow a poster more than one nomination in any given topic? I'm referring to the UK wrestler of the year topic. I'm concerned it could lead to manipulation of the nominations. For instance someone could post their ten mates they wrestle with and that's not really fair on the other posters who've made nomination (you know what some of the people on here are like bigging up their promotions and co-workers). In some topics it is going to be hard to make just one nomination but surely that's the point of year end awards. I hardly watch any WWE for example and I think I'd be really annoyed if in a match of the year section after whittling down all the top matches to just one a few posters then go on and list teir top ten WWE matches. It's going to be hard to get any puro or indie matches in the finals anyway due to the fact that much more people only watch WWE anyway. This isn't having a go at WWE fans or the MOTY award, just something I was thinking about.
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted December 9, 2004 Awards Moderator Posted December 9, 2004 Does it make sense to allow a poster more than one nomination in any given topic? I have to agree - one member one vote, just like 90s politics.Seriously, I don't see why you can just lay down fifty names and have them all counted.

Well in order to automate the voting with a poll we can only give a maximum of 10 options (limitations of the board's software). Remember this is just the nominations - if people are trying to get their mates in then unless a considerable amount of people have named the same person they won't be on the shortlist - and even if they are they won't have a chance of winning it because hardly anyone will know who they are.
