I don't contribute much, so I feel obligated to recognize a few of those who do so much for the community. This is from my myopic SNES perspective.
1. Bud of the year. To the person who’s done more for the community in the last 12 months than any other.
This is a tough one so I'll mention
I wouldn't know how to pick this one, so I'll just mention someone here that hasn't been mentioned - @INDIO for Rewind league including the ROM, streaming and trophies!
Also @Tickenest for all the gifs, and of course.. cup chase
2. Best entertaining bud. The one who provided the best entertainment streaming online
@lego @INDIO and @dangler come to mind. Very hard to choose between them all. Also @Tickenest for all the gifs
3. Best Rom/ Rom creator. The one who made the best rom for the community in the past 12 months. @INDIO for SNES Rewind, @kidswasted for salary cap and @dangler for SDL ROM
4. Best League/ tournament and organizer. The most well run/funnest league/event in the last 12 months they put together.
Again, I have to go with @INDIO Fun league, great stream, and what other league awards personalized Stanley Cups?
honorable mention to @kidswasted for starting up the SNES salary cap league
I probably forgot one or two others I could have mentioned here.
