Team Award Selections - each team​​​​​​​

Only the team coach/manager can selection prize winners for their own team.  One MVP trophy and up to two certificates are presented for each RNC team.  It is open to team players from each team.  Some coaches may choose to canvas their own team supporters for nominations, but utimately it is the coach decision.  The coach also needs to submit the recipient names (and citations) via the online form.

Writing of citations PLEASE NOTE:

1.  please try to write it using words like "this player", "she" etc to create suspense until the name is announced right at the end of each reading.

2. each citation should only be a maximum of 100 words, if it is too long it gets shortened by us as we just don't have time to read long citations at each ceremony.  

3. we have the right to edit any citation to ensure it fits with the general tone of all of our other citations.
