What You Should Know Before Voting

1. These awards take into consideration all community activity between October 19, 2013 and October 18, 2014. You should vote based upon activity during this period - not activity prior to or after it.

2. To vote, you must have a KarateForums.com account that had at least 10 posts made on or before October 18, 2014.

3. You cannot vote for yourself or an article that you wrote.

4. Please do not attempt to artificially inflate our vote totals in any way. This includes but is not limited to trading votes, encouraging people to vote indiscriminately (publicly or privately), spamming (here or elsewhere) and any other behavior that could lead to results being artificially skewed. Members found to be participating in these activities will be disqualified from nomination in any category.

5. Please note that you do not have to vote in every category. You can vote in as many or as few as you would like - please go for as many as you feel comfortable with. The more valid votes we get, the better!

hehehe!

I'll add only this ... the closing date for this is my birthday!

The march to 50 is getting ever closure!

(Which is not a profound as it sounds, as (god forbid and accident etc) we are all getting closer to that milestone in life!)
