2010 Real Women Awards

First to explain how the nominees were selected. I had very little say in it. In each division I had several fighters or competitors help. So I was just one voice. Those who helped will not be revealed unless they choose to reveal themselves.
How do you vote? Voting is done only by email. You email to elway78@netzero.com with your picks. One pick per category. You do not have to vote for every single award. You can only vote from an email address once. Multiple votes from the same address will result in none of your votes counting. However if you have multiple email address's then in theory I suppose you are able to vote from each one since there is no way I can track that.
Winners do not actually receive anything other than recognition on a fairly popular blog and fan page. Voting runs through the last day of January.
In most cases there will be five nominees listed in alphabetical order by last name. In a couple situations, due to the way the picking nominees process was done, there will be six nominees and in one case, seven nominees. For the interview awards, they are for all interviews, not just the ones from 2010 since it started shortly before 2010. In most categories you are considered pro or amateur based on what you entered 2010 as. For categories about 2011 it will be what you ended 2010 as as opposed to what you entered as.

  5. The amateur of the year votes are way off. No offese to any of the girls up there but, one of the competitors fought only once and lost first round TKO. Another one only had 1or 2 fights. Phillipus and Brents deserve to be up there, thats it. What about Liz McCarthy 3-0 for the year or Glena Avila 4-0 for the year.

  6. #5 best MMA interview- (C) Jessica Philippus
    # 10 Best Ammy Female of the year- (D) Jessica Philippus

  7. Comment to Ron: Actually, your facts are messed up... one of the ammy's you're trying to say doesn't deserve to be up there was actually 1-1 for the year. Simply on account of not being able to fight after her March loss- which was hugely outside of her size and weight-class (which also wasn't her call but bad prompting from a bad coach).
    Better to be kind and accurate than mistaken and bitter(?) perhaps. Maybe your girls will be up there next year.

  8. I agree with you completely about that being a horrible match up! But someone that shows their skills twice in a year (reguardless of outcome)shouldnt be nominated for a "Best anything" of the year when there are girls that are proving themselves regularly. Most should also agree that if there are going to be public awards or public recognition given, that as well should be accurate - if its to be taken seriously. Again, no offense intended to her or anyone else. Its unfortunate her circumstances kept her from competing more as I'm sure she would have done well. But this isnt a "Well if she could have...." type of deal.

    I agree, and I spoke with her and she agrees too... however, is still just happy that she was even considered. Her vote doesn't even go to herself.
    Pretty sure that your girls would be up there if they had been interviewed by this blog, however they weren't so they weren't considered. It's not a huge deal really.

  11. Srmbg11:
    She should be happy about being considered. I appologize for ruining that for her if I did. My comments were not meant to bash her. They also weren't intended to sound bitter that my girls weren't on there. It was more so to shine a light that there are a lot of ammy girls that work hard, that aren't recognized. I should have worded my initial comment differenty.
