Poll by rhapsody

January 25, 2012

While most of you were unwrapping presents, carving turkeys, or perhaps accidentally running into small children/woodland creatures with your sled, a super-duper-extra-secretive-secret-stealth-unicorn-operation was going down behind the scenes. A group of GU League veterans were in the process voting on the Top 50 GU League players of All Time.

The poll was conducted and organized by me, rhapsody, and required each member of the voting committee to submit their own "top 50" lists in order. The voting was based solely on skill and teamwork. Although sportsmanship, humility, and friendliness are very important personality traits, the aim of the list was to present the most skilled players in the league. The final list is a result of the combined Top 50 lists of 16 members (8 from North America, 7 from Europe, and 1 from Australia).

Points were assigned to each position on each individual top list, and weighted appropriately. 1st received 350 points, 2nd received 290 points, and all the way down to 50th place received 5 points. The total number of points each individual player received resulted in their position in the final Top 50 list. If two or more players ended up with the same number of points, a coin was flipped to determine which player placed above the other (there were only two ties between players, both in the lower half of the list). The final list was originally planned to be a Top 100, but most agreed that a Top 50 would be much tighter, accurate, and definitive. The list may not be perfect (no list is, really) and may have left out players that deserved a spot, but we feel that it's about as good of a representation of the history of the league and its players as we're going to get.
