Forget the Brownlow Medal because the Sovereign Knights are holding it's presentation gala at the conclusion of the regular season to present the individual awards available to its players.

The award system is based around the overall performance of a player throughout the year. With awards including – MVP, All-Defensive Player, Most Improved Player and the Club Man Award.

Each Member of the squad is granted 2 classes of votes for each award, being Class A votes equal to 2 points and Class B votes equal to 1 point. These votes must be forwarded to acting coach Matt Lee after the conclusion of the final game against Version 2.

Who has been the backbone to the Sovs success this season? Does this player exceed expectations offensively and defensively? Is he the on court leader? These are the questions you need to ask yourself when determining your votes for the MVP award.

As you are thinking about this next award, please take on board the following characteristics. Do they swat shots like Alonzo Mourning in a children’s playground? Do they swipe the ball as cleanly as the Glove (Gary Payton)? Are defensive boards being tared down with the ferocity of Dennis Rodman? Answer these simple questions and you will have your All-Defensive Player nominee.

At the beginning of the season there was a caterpillar and now a butterfly. Who is it? It is the Most Improved Player. This award is for the player who has developed their overall game more than any other player over the course of the season and who has gained the praise of his teammates.

Lastly, but surely not least – the Club Man award. Who is the player who lives and breaths Sovereign Knights basketball? Who has their Number cross-stitched into their underwear? Who fostered the development of the Sovs and has helped the team pull together? Surely the answers to these questions will provide you with a candidate for the award.

So get your thinking caps on lads, and reminisce on the season so far.

* Please note the vote is completely confidential, unless the voter discloses their nominations themselves. To provide fairness in the ballot the voters may not nominate themselves for any award (this is to ensure the concept of 'as nominated by their peers').
