SPECIAL AWARDS - Jan Guenther, winner of an unprecedented 15 Emmas, though winless in 2011 (2 nominations) , received a half-pound bag of M&Ms. It just didn't seem right to not give Jan something.* Matt Payne, the most nominated athlete (4), did not win an MMA, but did receive four pairs of MTN sport socks and a framed photograph of himself winning the Best of the US National Championship,

NOTE: By Rule, performances turned in after November 1 do no apply to the athlete's 2011 resumes. They transfer to 2012.

PS - It was a totally cool event! Many thanks to those who braved the weather and were able to make it to GWB&T.
