This year there were a total of 112 voters, up almost 40 from last year.  Discrepancies in the total number per category are due to the fact that some voters did not vote in every category.  The most votes received in one category was 109 out of 112 (Nady Katzenmoyer, Deep Throat, Red-Bellied Tickler, and Stuck Button).  The category that received the fewest votes was Best Schtick, which received only 88 votes.

    Here are the results:

Hall of Fame    (Vote for 3 names)

The selection by the Hall of Fame members was:  Scott Harper (5 of 7 ballots returned)

The actual voting broke down as follows:
 

Nikk Pilato            27
Trent Woodruff      23
Scott Harper          20
Chris Grovich        14
Ted Smith              14

However, as some have emailed me stating it is a conflict-of-interest to have my name on the ballot and run the awards, I have decided to respectfully decline admission into the Hall until at least next year, which will give me 5 full years on RSFC. (ED'S NOTE: Nikk was RUTSie Master in '99. --Tindall) Therefore, the 1999 inductees into the RSFC Hall of Fame are:

Scott Harper  and  Trent Woodruff
 

Multiple winners:    Mike Coffey (6)
                             Paul Hanlin  (3)

Kinda fitting, doncha think?

Thanks for voting, and we'll see you next year.  For those of you who complained about the short memory of RSFCers, you should take a cue from Vijay and save those posts you feel are RUTSie-worthy for next year.

Peace!
