Azbilliards' Person Of The Year
- Thread starter thebestpoolroom
- Start date
There is no question that 2006 will be remembered as the year that John Schmidt posted looking for a backer, got Purdman onboard, and then proceeded to take down the U.S. Open.
The prize should be split between these two men.

I have to vote for JAM
She puts up with our crap and delivers great tournament stories.

My first choice would be AzHousePro, for creating this forum, but that may be a conflict of interests.
My next choices would be a tie between Timberly and Jam. I think we all know why.
After that, I would have to nominate Purdman, for stepping up and sponsoring John S. for the U.S. Open.
Of course, I will keep my name available for nomination.

Purdman as the man, Timberly as the lady

colin; for his extensive instructional posts, totaly free, totaly awsome. especially his latest break video. here's a guy who's not scared to share everything he knows with others. He really is THE man who has helped me the most this year and is the reason for my increase in playing level.
linda: for just being the coolest woman around. helping with donations, even events that are thousand of miles away from her home, for all her fun posts, for reports.
purdman: for having the balls to back john, and for something personal
snapshot: for just being there for me as a bro
myself: for being the most silly poster around
Mrwilson; for making it all posible.

Still, some of the biggest impact ideas I've gotten are from those that wouldn't be nominated.
Having said all this, I wouldn't want to have just one.
I also don't want to have it a formal 'award'. I like having a thread like this that allows us to informally recognize people.

In my opinion, these four are the best "teachers" on here, in terms of using this online format to get across information that will actually help players play better. I don't mean to discount the ability of some others, particularly the pool school guys, to be great instructors in an in-person/lessons format, but on the forum I learn the most from these guys.
