Ummm JDAW6 isn't even a member anymore, so there isn't any point adding him to the awards? (@ProStar told me this yesterday)

I’m sure we could give him an award “posthumously”

Anyway, will do more of the categories later, but for now, I will say, best cubing parent, Luke Garret’s mom.

"Cubing Parent" is a hard choice for me to find. (why did you choose her, just wondering)

 

[bldcuber314]

If I don't get any nominations, can I automatically win 'Most Under-Appreciated Member'?

 

[Clock_Enthusiast]

If I don't get any nominations, can I automatically win 'Most Under-Appreciated Member'?

No because that's my only nomination

 

[cuberswoop]

If I don't get any nominations, can I automatically win 'Most Under-Appreciated Member'?

This is actually kind of clever ngl

 

[Kami]

Cuz it would 100% go to teboe
