The COBEG Ballon d’Or is an award created to honour the top players of each season as part of our efforts to honour and celebrate exceptional performances in the eFootball community. The regulations, nominee selection, voting methods, and the award ceremony are all covered in depth in the guidelines below.
Nominee Selection Process
Only the most worthy players are taken into consideration according to the strict selection process for the COBEG Ballon d’Or. Crucial factors for the nomination consist of:
- Season Performance: Players are shortlisted based on their individual performance during the season including match win, match draw, goals scored, top performance, clean sheets, match impact, and consistency.
- Team Success: Achievements of the player’s team in various tournaments and leagues will also play a role in the selection.
- Player Rankings: Players’ standing in the seasonal player rankings will be taken into account.
- Behavioral Assessment: The way players behave during games and in the community will be taken into consideration when evaluating them. Positive behavior, sportsmanship, and respectful engagement are essential for consideration.
- Panel Review: Our Strategic Supportive & Advisory Panel will assist in reviewing all nominees and refining the final list.
Points Counting System: Combining Votes and Player Stats
To ensure that the COBEG Ballon d’Or is selected in a balanced and just way, we will apply a hybrid points system which will incorporate both community votes and player statistics. This system enables us not only to determine the most popular players but also to assess their on-field performance objectively during the whole period of the season.
The overall points for each nominee will be determined by combining two main components:
1. Per Vote Points
- Captains Vote: 20 points per vote. All club captains from COBEG will have a vote. Their experience on the field and with fellow players makes their vote highly valuable.
- Registered Members Vote: 1 point per vote. Registered community members will log into their accounts to cast their votes, ensuring that those actively engaged in our community have a voice in selecting the winner.
- Fans Vote: 1 point per 100 votes. Fans can participate in the voting process without needing to log in. This allows the broader community to express their support for their favorite players and contributes to the overall voting outcome.
- Officials and Panel Vote: 5 points per vote. Votes from COBEG officials and the Strategic Supportive & Advisory Panel will add significant points to nominees, based on their deep understanding of the season’s overall performance.
2. Player Stats
- Match Results: Points counted based on wins, draws and losses.
- Goals: Points rewarded for each goal scored and minus for each goal conceded, with bonuses for: Hat-trick (3+ goals), Double Hat-trick (6+ goals) in a match.
- Clean Sheets: Points for matches with no goals conceded.
- Man of the Match (MOTM): Points for earning MOTM awards.
- Reward Points: Match Official and Match Referee Points.
Final Tally and Awarding
The points from voting and performance stats will be combined to generate a final score for each nominee.
The player with the highest total points will be awarded the COBEG Ballon d’Or, ensuring a blend of community support and measurable in-game achievements.
This points counting system ensures that the award is based on both the opinions of the community and the objective performance of each player during the season.
Award Categories
While the main focus is on the Ballon d’Or for the Best Player of the Season, we will also recognize excellence in other categories, including:
- Best Player: The primary honour given to the player who has demonstrated outstanding performance throughout the season, showcasing skill, leadership, and consistency.
- Best Captain: Honoring the captain who has led their team with distinction, exhibiting remarkable leadership abilities and strategic thought.
- Best Official: Awarded to the official who has shown outstanding commitment to fair play, administration, and community engagement within COBEG.
- Emerging Player of the Season: Honoring a new player who has made a significant impact in their debut season, showcasing exceptional talent and performance among newcomers.
Ceremony and Prizes
One of the season’s highlights will be the Ballon d’Or celebration, which unites the COBEG community in honor of eFootball brilliance. Important specifics consist of:
- Event Format: The ceremony will be held as a virtual event, allowing all COBEG community members to join and witness the recognition of the award winners.
- Trophy: The prestigious COBEG Ballon d’Or trophy will be awarded to the Best Player, symbolizing their exceptional achievements throughout the season.
- Financial Awards: The winners in every category will get financial awards, giving them concrete evidence of their accomplishment and hard work.
- Social Recognition: Winners will receive extensive social media recognition across all COBEG platforms, further highlighting their accomplishments.
- Club Benefits: Clubs whose players win will gain community-wide recognition and receive points in the overall team rankings, positively impacting their placement in elite competitions.
This comprehensive approach ensures that the ceremony is both a celebration of individual excellence and a recognition of the clubs and community that support these players.
Transparency and Fair Play
The COBEG community values transparency, fairness, and merit-based recognition. To maintain these principles:
- No Double Voting: A club captain, match official, panel member or registered members can only vote once per category to maintain fairness.
- Transparent Tallying: Voting results will be transparent on our official website, with updates provided after every submission to keep the community informed.
- Player and Club Influence: Players and clubs are allowed to promote their candidacies and encourage votes, fostering a sense of community engagement. However, campaigning must be respectful and fair, maintaining the spirit of the competition.
- Monitoring: All voting will be monitored by the Strategic Supportive & Advisory Panel. Any discrepancies or concerns in voting or selection will be promptly addressed by the COBEG administration.
Thank you for being a part of the COBEG community and contributing to the growth and excellence of eFootball.
The COBEG Ballon d’Or is a celebration of skill, commitment, and sportsmanship rather than just an award. Let’s all keep encouraging our gamers, promoting fair play, and honoring the cooperative spirit.
