HL voting threads for the end-of-season awards are now posted! Votes must be sent through to either of your div admins (which can be found in the links below) in a Discord DM using the correct formatting by Thursday the 18th of August 2022 at midnight by every team captain. Failing to do this will prevent your votes from counting.

Only captains to vote.

Please submit with 3 votes for EVERY category. You only have to do the division your team participated in.

Please message me or one of your div admins if you have any questions!
