New Ballots are ready so that all players can vote on the Apr 26 ballot. Players can only vote for two of those players who have amassed at least 14.5 points at The Right Move tournaments so far this year. (See separate webpage for that list.)  The Ballots for parents and coaches is also included, but is not meant to be conclusive.  Brother John tries to update and include as many as possible.  These tournaments only work well because of the fine work of many.  Parents / coaches may also pick two names for their choices, but only for the coach / parent of the year.  Write-in names are encouraged.  No one is meant to be left out.
