Here is how things stand right now.
Grove: Dylan Cisney finished 9th in points with 2295 points and Doug Hendricks finished 11th with 2280 points, making Dylan the Williams Grove Rookie winner.
Tour: Doug finished 7th with 3415 points and Dylan finished 12th with 3290 points, making Hendricks the Tour Rookie Winner.
I think it is so cool that we can give a trophy to each of them, and it's really cool that we had both rookie winners finish in the top 10 of the point race that they won.
An issue that needs to be settled is how many races is the cut off for the Rookie of the Year Award. By this, I mean, of the guys in this years class, who is still eligible for next year. We had thrown numbers around when we started all of this, but we need to set a number that we stay with for years to come. I'm pretty sure that Hendricks ran 5 races last year and we are considering him a rookie this year, so it has to be 5 or more to be fair. That would mean that Phil Griffith [5], Greg Hammaker [5], Jeremy Ginder [3], Rob Wibur [3], and Dan John [2] will all be eligible for next year. The next one up, Ellerman ran 11 races, so we really don't have anybody on the fence....but, like I said, we need to set the number for future years.....my feeling is either 5 or less or 6 or less.
