Sabermetric Awards: 1. Novel Research Project

By Tangotiger, 01:34 PM

All the usual suspects.  Because of the high quality and the high number of nominations, I’ll guess the top 3 will split 50% of the votes.  So, we’re not going to get anything close to a consensus.  Just a guess on my part.

Just wanted to point out that Justin’s using approval voting here, so you can vote for any number of nominations.  So splitting votes in the usual sense of the term, but there still could be a very close race.

OIC.  Well, that makes it interesting in terms of voting procedure.

Definitely looks to be a tight race.  Currently there are 45 ballots submitted for the first category, and despite the “vote for as many as you like” framework, no study has appeared on more than 26% of the ballots.  In fact, there are six studies that are named on between 22-26% of ballots. 

So yes, I’m not expecting a consensus on several of these categories.  But that’s ok.  We’ll still probably crown a “winner,” but we’ll include all the major vote-getters in the category write-up after voting is complete.

Also, folks can continue to use the original project announcement post as a hub (click on my name).  I’ll add voting threads as they are released.
