I voted early and realized when I listed to a podcast that what I voted for for best mod has now been removed as an option. Does this mean my vote won't count?

I also think the best location and league aren't meaningful categories since very few people are likely to experience more than a few. Thus these just become contests of where most people live.

Best pinball topper: Some prototype of the BKSOR topper was shown at a show but nothing is available to order and few people have actually seen it. Same goes for the MMR Royal topper and ACNC topper. The Beatles topper came out before 2019 and is no longer available. I feel like I had to vote for something I'd actually seen which narrowed it down quite a bit.

Rookie of the year: Zach Meny, Jack Danger, and Christopher Franchi are all established members of the community who have all been around for a while. How am I supposed to compare a new artist, with a new coder, someone who started a podcast or someone who bought into a distribution business? It seems arbitrary.
