The votes were casted, here are you winners of THE Alternatives 2006 Awards!
2006 Upset Of The Year: Cygnus and Billtog reaching the Championship Series of the TTS
It seemed like Yellow and rekt were going to make the Championship Series of the TTS, it seemed that way especially after Cygnus and Billtog were swept by me and SamG in week 4. With just two weeks left, Cygnus and Billtog managed to hang on by a thread when they each beat Yellow in an upset (Yellow subbed for rekt that week due to rekts inactivity). Cygnus and Billtogs momentum carried in week 6 when they swept NiggasWitAttitudeV2 and because of other things going their way, pulled off an amazing upset and reached the Championship Series of THE Alternatives TTS!
2006 Contributor Of The Year: GGFan and HcM
The votes were casted, it was neck and neck, THE Alternatives 2006 COTY would either be myself for creating the new layout for THE Alternative or HcM for creating the branch of THE Alternative, ACB. The poll ended in a tie and as a result, both myself and HcM are your 2006 contributors of the year!
2006 Rookie Of The Year: SamG
In a back and forth poll, SamG edged by Yellow by one vote to be declared of the 2006 rookie of the year! SamG started off the year when he went 4-0 in the RBY League and made the East Division Championship Series. SamG would then find himself in the finals of the tradeback tournament and the DWTS, SamG continued his consistency when he made the finals of The Alternaversary. SamG finally won a tournament in THE Alternative when SamG and myself won THE Alternatives TTS, when we went a combined 20-3. SamG then followed that up when he was one of the winners of the IRBYT along with HcM. SamG truly deserves the 2006 rookie of the year award!
2006 Tournament Of The Year: The IRBYT
THE Alternative has had roughly two dozen tournaments in 2006. The other nominees didn't stand much of a chance, it was obvious the IRBYT was going to win this. The IRBYT was the first tournament in history that involved competition between an American community and a European community, it also went extremely well as it was very competitve. The two communities involved were THE Alternative and Pokemonexperte, a German/Austrian Pokemon community and currently the biggest Pokemon community today.
The first round determined who would represent each community, four from each would represent their respective communities. The four who advanced to the second round in THE Alternative were myself, SamG, Yellow and HcM, the four who advanced to the second round in Pokemonexperte were peter pan, cune, Jakira and Buster. There was some controversey in the first round, as HcM advanced despite going 1-6-7. I gave HcM the win as the only battler who had more wins was Kampfer, who had 2 but I gave HcM the spot as he had more battles. Buster faced a similar situation, when he went 1-4-5, but there wasn't a battler who had more wins in less battles so Buster moved on.
The second round saw myself against Buster, HcM against peter pan, SamG against Jakira and Yellow against cune. In what was a VERY COMPETITIVE second round which saw every battle a 1-0, cune beat Yellow, HcM beat peter pan in what was actually a nominee for 2006 upset of the year, Buster beat me to counter an upset we had with their own and SamG beat Jakira.
With four battlers left, the semi final round was SamG against Buster. SamG 3-0d Buster, which meant the final round saw cune face HcM. cune had to beat both SamG and HcM to give Pokemonexperte the victory, HcM managed to win despite being practically rushed out of his house while he was battling and THE Alternative won the IRBYT! SamG and HcM were the sole survivors in what was an overall great tournament and something I was happy to be part of.
Thanks to everyone who voted, hopefully I'll be posting the award winners of the 2007 awards as well!
