Minnesota Multisport Awards - Responding to a persuasive e-mail from Julie Hull, the MMA Selection Committee reevaluated Matthew Payne's winning effort at Trinona Olympic and concluded that it did indeed, in their collective opinion, deserve to be nominated for 2010 Performance of the Year.

Thanks, Julie!

After the original listing of nominees has been announced, the MMA Selectors can, by rule, add...

nominees. However, only those who are perceived to have a legitimate chance to WIN in his or her category can be added. For example, given the recommendation to add Junior of the Year nominee Brock Eastlund to the already-published list of Rookie of the Year nominees, the Committee, by rule, had to deny the addition. This was not because Brock wasn't a viable candidate for nomination, it was because be did not race often enough, relative the other posted nominees, to have a real shot at winning the award.
