Tough call between BBOB and Rich both very good players, rather than toss a coin I checked the stats and BBOB's impressive average swung it for me.

Good to see some new faces challenging us old crustys !

My vote goes to Rich but Bbob is also very good player.
I don't mean no disrespect but why include Bonecolector? No medals and I have never seen him/her in OP tournaments.

No Roo, but I am sure majority of others do not know this player as well as they know Rich and BBob.

It was just a question.

Well I voted but I'm not saying a word LOL.

By the way Tel, have nominations closed and what period of time would make someone a 'new' player mate?

Holy smokes, Tel! Could you have made this any harder of a choice?!? Great poll!

I am torn but I am decisive!

I have narrowed down to two (Bob and Rich), but I've closed to Rich. Both have been exemplary in their entrance to OP66 (true gentlemen). Both have compliled incredible stats (there are some long-timers who are probably jealous!). I've seen a bit of a difference in Rich in that he has really broadened his game... like Bob, he has been very successful on the OP66 tournies (scored his 2nd gold in the BC last night). But he also has shown a strength in his success on the S&G's, and especially in the 1-mil HU's. I remember beating him there the first three times we played... he'd keep coming back (as he still does, the bugger!!!) and saying "Jim, another go?". I don't think I've beaten him since!

Tough choice, Tel... but my vote will be to Rich!

To Bob and the other nominees, I wish you the best! You are all very deserving and a welcome addition to the OP66 community!

Tel, thanks for organizing this poll... the winner will get some nice recognition... perhaps re-do the poll on a quarterly basis? Forces us all to recognize the efforts of the newcomers, especially those dedicated to leanrning and improving their game!!!

While we are in the process of handing out plaudits to everyone, can I just say that is one of the best constructed and well thought out posts I have seen in a good while. Thanks JimG
