Congratulations pal!


On another note, me and @Poisoned Slice got the football club just narrowly ahead of other remaining nominees. Our shrine will always be mentioned.

Thanks everyone for the votes! It was a very fun thread to do with the poster participation, and I hope to follow up with a part 2 soon.

Most dedicated TTW poster
Bronze medal goes to @octobrina10 who never allowed people to cheat readers.

Clearly someone cheated the readers since @octobrina10 didn't win gold

No fair I'm playing 2 v 1 here

Funniest on TTW
@Bender wins the bronze medal. After sharing gold last year, @Federer and Del Potro will have to settle for silver this time, as @vive le beau jeu ! stands alone.

Thanks for the nominations everyone!

Damn, I can’t seem to do any better than bronze lmao Thanks to everyone who voted for me!

Hey at least you got bronze! I got an honorable mention once, I think.

Best individual post of the year on TTW

Only seems fair that @Bender 's dictionary corner OP comes out as a winner.

[Azure]

The Rafa Nadal Most Humble Poster on TTW

Hello everybody guys, you've all been ombeleebely humble.

@DSH
@Tiki-Taka
@FRV4
@Rafa.the.Magnificent
@Azure
@vive le beau jeu !
@MichaelNadal
@gn
@Federev
@sureshs
@Nole Slam
@Red Rick
@NonP
@Hitman's Gurl
@Sudacafan









Very fitting that @vive le beau jeu ! wins bronze, being one of the best Nadal fans over the years, no?

@Azure gets a well deserved place on the humble podiums with a silver medal.

And would you believe it, it's an identical result to last year as @Rafa.the.Magnificent and @Tiki-Taka share gold again!

Congratulations everybody!

Thank you for hosting this event this year! And thank you very much to all the folks here who voted

 

[GoldenMasters]

Lel I won a medal.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Congrats to all nominees, winners, and most especially, huge thanks to @Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil for a spectacular job! That's called skillz!!

 

[Deleted member 748597]

Best Murray fan on TTW

Now it's Muzziah believers' turn!

@Krish872007
@Mainad
@Red Rick
@Poisoned Slice
@Sysyphus
@Meles

And it's an identical end result to last year. @Krish872007 nearly broke into the top three but it stays the same.

@Poisoned Slice is the bronze medalist. It's ok though, our man Ronnie won the biggest prize this year.

@Red Rick wins silver. Time for a quiz pic just like in Murray's case to see if it's happy Rick or angry Rick.

And in the biggest landslide of all categories, @Mainad defends gold.

Congrats, Judy!

I mean... Judy would be proud. Of all of you.

Mainad is the true weak era champion.

 

[blablavla]

Mainad is the true weak era champion.

ouch

 

[Deleted member 748597]

ouch

Don't worry. He won't be offended.

 

[vive le beau jeu !]

thanks guys, it's good to feel some love in this hatred-ravaged world
merry Xmas to all!

PS: did i get any vote for the objectivity award?...

 

[MeatTornado]

Three posters win silver - @MeatTornado , @Steve0904 and @Breakpointerer .

And the gold...

Is also shared. @NatF retains his title, but this time he shares it with @Third Serve .

Congratulations to you all!

Everyone knows that silver is just gold with white privilege

I can live with that.

[Tiki-Taka]

Two golds and a silver, wow didn't expect that. Thanks to everyone who voted for me. And good job hosting this again Doc.

Happy holidays to everyone.

 

[NoleFam]

Thanks @Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil for doing this again and you did an excellent job. You rock dude.

@NoleFam retains his title, and this time he will share it with Doctor/Lawyer Re...

Hold up!

Deeply humbled that many of you could look past my grumpiness and see the good side. Thanks y'all.

Same here. Thanks to all who voted for me and I appreciate you guys.

 

[NonP]

Congratulations to @NonP , @NatF and @The Green Mile .

Congratulations analysts!

So a co-gold and a bronze along with several other noms in my very 1st participation. Much obliged again, boys!

Speaking of which....

Best rivalry on TTW

Well, y'all MIGHT notice the similarities between many of these.

Beckerserve vs objectivity
StrongRule vs logic
Lleytonstation vs NoleSlam and Pancho Gonzales
StrongRule vs optimism
NatF vs RS
Skypadq vs english language
StrongRule vs Yugram
VamosBrigade vs importance of WTF
StrongRule vs everyone
StrongRule vs match thread participants
Bender vs Spencer gifs
StrongRule vs VamosBrigade
Tennis_pro vs octobrina10
BackhandDTL vs abmk
StrongRule vs sane posters
Tennis_pro vs VamosBrigade
Octobrina10 vs cheaters/anyone dissing Nadal
The_Order vs NatF
PeoplesChamp vs fake Fed fans
Tennis_Hands vs anyone anti-Fed or anti-Kyrgios
Bender vs Spencer
Enceladus and Phoenix1983 vs Mainad
Vive le beau jeu ! vs the Nadal
StrongRule vs optimism, the human spirit, the will to live
NonP's reality vs our fiction

And for that reason, I have decided to declare StrongRule vs ANYONE the winner for this year. But mostly in the match thread.

Hopefully this award mellows you down and makes you reconsider your opinion that Nadal should retire now. Congratulations you miserable fart.

LOL, I should be more creative with my next noms now that I know you really give every one equal weight. The more unpredictable the better, I say.

(Still not a big fan of the best-fan categories which I feel add to the us-versus-them atmosphere, but don't wanna be too much of a spoilsport.)

 

[Third Serve]

Late to the party but excellent thread, Doc! Thanks for all the mentions, guys, and congrats to everyone else who won medals. Quite a lot of well-deserved nominations, I'm pleased.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Silver medal?

 

[BackhandDTL]

Late to the party but excellent thread, Doc! Thanks for all the mentions, guys, and congrats to everyone else who won medals. Quite a lot of well-deserved nominations, I'm pleased.

He's back!

 

[TheAssassin]

Best Djokovic fan on TTW

My Red Devil bro @TheAssassin wins silver, missing out on what I am sure he would have considered a stunning three-way tie for gold by the narrowest of margins.

Rigged!
