With the scores added together for all 14 categories, I can now confirm that the winner of the award for the Most PM Points goes to...

barry-clari

Barry, likewise with Member of the Year, wins the Most PM Points award for the second year in a row, claiming four wins in total this year. He finished with a comfortable 164-point lead over DaisyChain after leading all the way from category 3 onwards with mwl1 taking the early initiative after the first two categories. Solari finishes third overall in his first year participating in the awards. 208 members have been voted for overall, slightly more than last year.

After his four victories this year, that takes Barry's total number of victories in the awards to 10, which is double the amount of wins of his nearest challenger (which happens to be me ).

Car Expert

Well done all!
An improvement from last year for me,

I'm sure I haven't sent anywhere near 220 PMs and I know that I have received PMs from people who aren't on the list.

The league table is based on the number of points given to each person for all of this year's categories combined

Car Expert

Thanks for my votes, everyone I'm flattered!

Well done everyone!

Thank you to all of you who voted for me , and well done CE for another excellent year organising the awards!

A while back, Solari ran a poll to find out which age group people were in, and two of us came in the Over 65 group (and I know who the other one is ). So really I am rather touched that from all you youngsters here I get three third place awards and come overall 13th in points. Thank you so much for all my votes

And well done to everyone else in the league table.

You don't look it! Age is no barrier to being considered an awfully nice chap

Congrats on the well-deserved votes

Ooooh look I got a vote! Fabulous

Well done BC

53 votes - just my age!

If the award was for most PMs exchanged, I think I would be winning it...

How very modest of you

It's one of the side-effects of having a large fan club

....and another one being???

[Thanks for the compliment.]

...a reputation?

[No worries - it was great to meet you and hear/see you play in Chester! ]

Missed the top 100 by one point. Must strive to be more useful/intriguing during the next year. Or just paste up a totally false and highly flattering profile pic (I'm disappointed IKB didn't pull in loads of votes for me).

I think you have a point there. Perhaps the three categories "Best Profile Photo", "Best Looking Male" and "Best Looking Female" should be combined into one - "Most Intriguing Profile Picture". Then people can put up cartoons, snakes, monkeys, false pictures of other people or whatever and we will all know it is not for real . I must admit I spent some time preparing my short list of the two "Best Looking..." categories based on people I had met, but gave up when it suddenly dawned on me that this is not how you play this game . Good fun, nevertheless, and thanks again to Car Expert for his hard work.

Surely you're not saying that any of our esteemed members or their various aliases are actively doing this!?

Oh Solari, how young and innocent you are .

Is someone doubting my felineness.

Perish the thought!

You're a total pussy cat, Bev!

Wow..many thanks for all my votes/PMs! Congratulations to Barry and to all who made the list.

Quite.

Modesty is very important to me


It's a good reputation!


My photo really is me!


Oh Gerald, how easily taken in you are

Despite appearances otherwise, I've found the whole process very amusing!! And I got 10 votes

Well I guess I can be pleased with 25th place Cant remember what I came last year though, and can't find the thread.

http://www.abrsm.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=32538

You came 15th last year

Car Expert

Oh dear. Looking at that, I've plumetted. Must try harder. I'll begin my canvassing immediately.

Oh dear 15th down to 25th ! What did I do to deserve that!

Wow, I came 90th!

CE, as I don't follow the Awards, can you let me know how I reached such dizzy heights?

You got 9 points for being humorous and 14 points for being good-looking

Car Expert

Thank you to all who voted for me

wow 93rd, thanks hoping to climb higher next year now I've worked out how to get profile pics up

I know, it's a feature of my charm .

But you wouldn't take advantage of that, would you Carol?

Not even one point. I guess the forum has forgotten about me

You've been very quiet of late!

Out of sight, out of mind, and all that.

Well I think I have heard you purring, but you have never been catty about someone in my presence and thank goodness you have never had your claws out to scratch me, so I am not sure what to say . Your photo is of a lovely kitten, though.
