The Second Annual Greater New Haven BBS Awards

From the editors of The New Haven BBS List, 1994

Note
|
|
----
|
|
Yes, we have reached the end of another year, and that means our
|
|
second awards ballots are ready to go out. Last year when I did this, it
|
|
didn't get much previous notice, and because of that was almost a complete
|
|
failure. :( So, just to make it fair, this year I'm starting a little early.
|
|
This file includes the categories, instructions for voting, a list of rules
|
|
for the awards (Hey, I have to regulate it somehow!), a description of the
|
|
"awards", and of course a printable ballot! So, good luck to all and happy
|
|
modeming!

Sorry I had to do it this way 'cause I know that everyone's gonna
|
|
complain about paying for the stamp, but since I don't have the time to read
|
|
through 50 gazillion emails on every different board I can call I have to.
|
|
It also prevents multiple voting. :)

Rules & Awards
|
|
--------------
|
|
1) Each person may cast ONE ballot and NO MORE. If multiple ballots are
|
|
received, both ballots from that person and any further ones received will be
|
|
DISQUALIFIED.
|
|
2) It is preferred that you use your real name when filling out the
|
|
ballot, but if you wish you may use your online handle. Your handle, however,
|
|
is REQUIRED for the ballot to count.
|
|
3) Ballots received between September 1 and December 31, 1994 will be
|
|
counted. All others will be consciously disposed of. (recycled)
|
|
4) Award Finalists, the top 5 vote getters in each category, will
|
|
receive a weekly advertisement in FidoNet CT_BBSADS for 1 month with their
|
|
BBS name, number, and awards finalled and/or won included in the ad. Award
|
|
winners will get in addition a custom-made ANSI to use on their BBS for
|
|
however long the sysop chooses to use it. (I promise the ANSI will be MUCH
|
|
better this year! :)
|
|
5) In the First-year categories, the item must have started during 1994,
|
|
and must be at least 1 months old. Rollovers (If it started in 1994 and is
|
|
not yet 1 month old) will be allowed in the next year's awards, or included
|
|
this year with a minimum "write-in" vote of at least 25 in any one category.
|
|
Leftovers (Those that started in 1993 but are eligible this year) are allowed
|
|
in this years voting.
