JUDGING PROCESS
Many of our category winners are voted on by our prestigious Sports Book Awards Judging Academy. Our esteemed judges include our most decorated sports writers, leading pundits, world cup winning captains, as well as association bodies, TV commentary teams and well-known cultural personalities. Some categories will be decided by an online web-poll divided into two constituencies, a public vote and a specialist SBA Academy vote, weighted equally and combined to provide the winners.
