Ice Weasels MVPs

In February 2001, we learned that we got a trophy for winning the Fall 2000 season. Not sure what to do with it, it was decided that we'd vote on the MVP for that season, and award them the trophy. We had originally planned on doing the same thing for all future seasons, regardless of whether we came in first place or not. However, the plan changed, and from now on the MVP is only voted on when the Weasels get 1st place and receive a trophy for the season. The trophy will go to the person with the most MVP votes that does not already have a trophy (although the person with the most MVP votes wlll still be the MVP). In the case of a tie, we'll have co-MVP honors, with the trophy randomly awarded (provided neither player already has a trophy). In the case that everyone who receives an MVP vote already has a trophy, Mitch will figure something else out.

In order to be eligible to win the MVP award for a season, a player must have played in at least half of the games. The only eligible voters for the MVP award are the players who are eligible to win it (although exceptions may be made for nonplayers who attend most or all of the games).
