I've enjoyed doing the Cruncher of the Month things... it's always welcome in my mind to acknowledge those who go above and beyond.
 
I think this has reached the end of it's rope, not so much the acknowledgement but the frequency thereof.
 
So, I'm thinking we do a COTQ (Quarter) or we start to include our Folding brethren in the equation.  I'm up for suggestions.  I have no desire to see it end but I would love to see it get better.
 
Change the award?
 
Change the frequency of the award?
 
Change the eligibility?
 
Help me figure this out.  (I'm old and feeble and am busy fishing... :))

Please expound... on the top two crunchers of the quarter.  Like a run off?  I had thought of that for a finale but not sure.

Cruncher of the Year... hmmm... I'm liking it!  So... this year will be the end of the COTM.. after we award the December COTM.
 
Next year?
 
Quarterly with a year end run off?

I thought AB won the COTY for 2014?

No... he was awarded for being a catalyst for putting this team together.

COTQ seems like a good idea.
COTM suggest POTM, so should we try out a monthly voting for each POTM.
A quarterly project seems a bit long lasting for my taste.
 

Okay... so far I'm down with the COTQ but... I think there should only be one COTQ like the COTM (as a side note to make sure everyone understands the COTM will go away).  I'm also open to the COTY (Year) as being all inclusive.  In other words, all active Crunchers are eligible regardless of whether or not they were awarded anything in the past.  All hands on deck so to speak.
 
The COTY is a special award in my mind and will reflect that.  Further thoughts?

Thanks for the vote there AB but really I want it to be about the other unsung heroes of our team.  Besides, I already gave myself the Cruncher of the Century award, Bling Master Award as well  as the Cranky Old Man Award.

Meanwhile, I think we'll keep to the COTQ as follows:
 
Jan-Mar
Apr-Jun
Jul-Sept
Oct-Dec
 
Nominations and voting will take place the last two weeks of the quarter and one (1) winner will be announced and associated plaque/trophy (looking at new stuff to award now) sent out.
 
The COTY (Cruncher of the Year) will receive an award of some type to be determined later and can come from any of the active members of the Crunching team.  You need not have been a previous awardee to qualify.
 
The COTY will take place after the COTQ for Oct-Dec and I'm thinking Jan.1 is a good time to start.  (Or there about depending on the hangover.)

It is for our team only.  I created it as a reward for those of us who Crunch as a way of saying thank you.  That was this year.  It was open only to the Crunchers on our team and not the Folding side.  They have the bucks so I wanted to say here's what I can do to help recognize our team mates.
 
Only problem is we have a limited number of crunchers who actively participate on the forum so it makes it difficult to acknowledge those who either choose not to be contacted or just hide in the shadows.  So, it is now the Cruncher of the Quarter.  I had asked for input as to whether we should allow Folders to participate (and still keep it quarterly) but didn't get much feedback on that.  So for now unless otherwise discussed it's Crunchers only.
