The TWIPY Pinball Awards: A CELEBRATION OF THE HOBBY
PRE-VOTING NOW OPEN
The main TWIPY voting period will be held in January as always. As with last year, we’ll do a pre-voting period so the pinball community can decide which nominees will be included in the drop downs for the write-in categories, such as favorite streamers, podcasters, mods, etc. This helps provide voters with a better voting experience in January and saves time when compiling the votes so the TWIPY Committee and others can spend more time focusing on creating the event.
PRE-VOTING for the TWIPYs is now open through Friday, December 10th. These will determine the drop down selections for the January voting. The number of drop down selections will vary by category and be determined by the TWIPY Committee.
The Write-In Category votes starting December 1st are:
Favorite Pinball Streamer
Favorite Pinball Podcast
Favorite Pinball YouTube Channel

Voting Format
For the Pre-Voting, people can choose their top two Write-In nominees for each category if they wish. These votes will determine nominees for the drop downs for the January voting.
During the January voting, voters can choose their top three for each category if they wish. Those will count as three “points” for 1st pick, two points for 2nd pick, and one point for third pick for January voting, and will determine the winners of the categories.
