Erie Fantasy Football League Awards
General Manager of the Year
History of the award: At the end of the 1994 season, Commissioner Kirk Pavelich used statistical analysis to name an Executive of the Year. The formula used studied which owner had been most successful at building an efficient roster through trades, transactions, and the draft. After the '95 season, Pavelich called for the leagues owners to vote for the General Manager who over the year had done the most effective job in improving his team, either through the draft, through trades, or through transactions. The honor has been voted on every year since. Starting in 1999, owners could vote for the General Manager of the Year from their respective conference. This presented the possibility that two different General Managers could win the award in a given year. The point total is derived by allowing each of the owners to make first, second, and third place votes. First place votes receive six points, second place votes receive four points, and third place votes receive two points.
