NOTE: For those readers who are active in the Saber Tour discord, this is the same message that was put there a few days ago. If you have already filled out the google form there is no need to do so again :).

As we approach the prestigious Saber Tour Finals on January 31st that mark the start of the new Season, I’m launching the first-ever Saber Talk Awards to celebrate you guys – the fighters who make this community incredible. Beyond just rankings and results, I want to recognise style, personality, sportsmanship, and people that make the Tour so special. The way this works is that you, the fighters, choose who you think deserves to win each award through a vote. Every vote and nomination counts as much as any other! Nominations are opening today across the five, “Fighters’ Choice” categories, and nominations close Sunday, January 5th. Top nominees will then compete for the title in each category through community voting! Submit your nominations via the Google Form below across these five categories:

• Best Outfit – for the fighter who has outdone themselves with their clothing and style this year
• Best Style – for the fighter whose technique, flair, and approach you most admire
• Most Entertaining – for the fighter you’ve enjoyed watching the most, find funniest outside the arena or just find the most enjoyable to be around
• Most Underrated – for the fighter who deserves more recognition across the Tour for their skill and commitment
• Most Sporting – for the fighter who goes above and beyond to call their hits and make matches fair for their opponents, as well as being helpful and respectful when the mask if off

It only takes a couple of minutes – I’d love to hear your picks!
