2006_best_of.gifFor the sixth straight year Gameops.com will present our “Best of Awards” on our December update.  The Best of Awards has made December one of the most popular updates of the year since the award’s inception in 2001.

We have accepted nominations over the years via email, fax, and the message boards.  This year we will accept nominations from all those methods, but also here on the Editor’s blog.  Nominations are important to the process since each nomination is added to the discussion with our panelists, who consider what they have seen live, followed through their work, recent winnders, and topics that have been nominated.

Gameops.com canvasses a panel of selected industry leaders for our “Best of Awards”. Their names are not used to encouraged them to freely add as much information as possible. Their collective input is considered when building the final award selections. 

Panelists in the past have included team reps, touring mascots/acts, industry vendors, referees, league representatives, contributors to the site and active leaders in the game operations community and people who have the opportunity to see a range of teams and leagues. We do allow our panel to nominate your own act or services, but of course that bias will be considered in the process. We also limit any awards to products and services offered by Gameops.com, or we make note of it.

There are six categories, I will post one every couple days to introduce it.  We have some nominations in already and I will add those notes when available.

Best Team Operations 2006
Which team is doing the best job in their game operations and game presentation. We level the playing field by considering budget constraints to minor league teams. Consider creativity, value to fans, overcoming sport and budget limitations, quality of presentation, and attention to detail.
