HOW THE VOTING WORKS
After each game the coaches allocate votes ranging from 0-15, based off each players performance.
To ensure players aren’t disadvantaged by injuries or being managed, each player’s highest scoring 24 games of the season are added together to give a final score. Therefore, if a player played all 25 games, his lowest scoring game will be eliminated from the total.
Tonight’s leaderboards reflect the actual scores for each game; the adjustment is made after all games have been completed to give the final placings.
