Polls open immediately after every Crows game. Users assign three votes to the player they deem Adelaide’s best contributor, two to the second-best and one vote for their third most valuable Crow in each match.
Polling closes on Tuesday at 4.30pm (ACST) after each round when the final votes are collated using a points system.
A maximum of 100 points per game can be awarded to the entire team.
Each player is given a percentage of the total votes received to go towards their season tally.
For example, if 1,200 votes were placed in Round One and Taylor Walker receives 600 then that is the equivalent of 50pc of all votes for that round and he would receive 50 points towards his season tally.
If the second-best player received 120 votes from 1,200 then that is the equivalent of 10pc and he will get 10 votes towards the season tally.
This process is repeated each round and players accumulate points towards their total tally.
The player at the top of the leaderboard at the end of the season is crowned the Crows Fans’ MVP.
