2011 EPBF Player of the Year award
The European Pocket Billiard Federation is an organizer of the EPBF Player of the Year award.
The board of EPBF will nominate players from each category: men, women, WC, seniors and ladies. The board will indicate maximum 3 players from each discipline, maximum 12 nominees in total. These nominees will then be announced and people will have the right to vote.
The voting is as follows:
All votes count in 3 groups.
Group 1
Open voting through the web site. Everyone who would like to take part in our election, has the right to send the vote by internet. The vote automatically will be added to the account of the player. The Voting Internet System will show the current results.
Group 2
Voting by E-mail for EPBF members (national federations).
Members of EPBF will send votes to the Manager of the election.

Each participant of the open voting has 1 vote.
Each EPBF member has 1 vote.

2nd place - 5 points;
3rd place - 4 points;
4th place - 3 points;
