As we don't have a category for best mixed team (we will discuss this next year) and voting is already ongoing, I will leave this question here: Loading... After some careful consideration, I decided to make the mixed Equestrian teams ineligible for the Men's Team award. Voting regarding this issue didn't help as it was pretty much 50/50. Next year I hope we can solve this problem with the creation of a new category (or reformulation of the current ones). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good decision. I think some options for Next year could be: 1) Only one category for all Teams (including Pairs)) 2) Two categories: Best team (men/women/mixed) + best pair (men/women/mixed) 2) Three categories: Best men‘s Team (including pairs) + best women‘s Team (including pairs) + best Mixed team‘s (including pairs) I understand the reasoning for having an own category for every kind of team/pair, but in my opinion this makes the awards less competitive/interesting. I am also not sure what category relays belong in? Where does the swimming mixed medley relay belong for example? Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matteo92 89 Posted January 1, 2023 #136 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I'd also support the three categories. It's already hard enough to choose between men's teams and women's teams that win similarly important events, it would be terribly hard to choose with a single category. maestro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vektor 3,196 Posted January 1, 2023 #137 Share Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) I think these should be the team categories: Best Men's Team in a Team Sport Best Women's Team in a Team Sport Best Team in an Individual Sport So the first two categories are for the usual team sports (are there any traditional team sports with mixed teams?), and the third category is for every other kind of team like pairs in tennis and table tennis, the relays in athletics, the two/four/eight boats in rowing and so on.
