Hey guys, it's time to choose the POY 2016! First of all: thanks to Etch for working out the stats, I am literally just creating this topic and posting the stats for him great effort!


+++ALSO NOTICE+++ The poll will be open until the 16th of January 2017 0am CET, so make sure to get your votes in!




Our nominees:

Stephen Weber - he did a great job throughout the year, starting as a person without an MK inside a TOP100, he worked his way up and almost reached the TOP50, halving his AF! His ARR also improved significantly and shows that he is capable of a lot more!

Cole Gilbert - He came out of nowhere, improving his timeset and gaining a lot of ranks with a massive boost in AF by reducing his AF by 2/3! Allthough he was not active the whole year (in fact, only around 3 months) he did a great job reaching the TOP10 finishing at 8th place, being the 13th person to reach the Myth ARR!

Robert Szabo - one of the most all around karters around! With a lot of great PRs and WRs in SC and Non-SC he solidifies his Non-SC AF placing to #7 in Non-SC and stays close to Ethan in SC at #2 with a nice improvement compared to the beginning of the year!

Andy Lundeen - simply for existing (no seriously, nothing happened from him after earning 5 POYs, it's time to let the others win!)

Fabien Da Silva - he had a solid play at the beginning of the year, with a nice cut of almost a third of his AF, several new TOP10 times and also setting new bars for the swiss records he absolutely deserves to be in this one!

Jonathan Toole-Charignon - allthough not having played over the whole year, Lafungo fired it up at the end of the year and was able to catch up Mick and Stacy and flew with a strong cut up to #4 at the end of the year!

Can Lafungo vote for himself?  

I nominate Shock.

I was torn between Cole and Robert, but I think I'm gonna give my vote to Etch because he was consistently playing through much of the year at a high level, and he has a high level of dedication to the game.

Lafungo's WR voted for him looks like.

I did it Brutus...



Starting out, I had no idea this is how things would end up last year.  Cole is a true bro, he pretty much slashed off more AF in a few months than what took me 4-6 hours a day of playing all year to achieve.  I'm extremely humbled and hope this encourages all players to keep demolishing their times.  About 2 years ago, I thought I couldn't push it further but I saw through my deficiencies and reached heights I couldn't have imagined.  Of course, a lot of videos you guys posted helped me get there and I'll keep refining my craft as long as I'm interested!

God bless mksc!

Congratulations on your new baby Poy-chan, Etch

Thanks again guys!

Let's make this year great as well, good luck!

Yep, all 001.

I often play without the light which isn't an option on the 101.

My thoughts exactly, perhaps the curse is lifted...

More gratuitous propaganda, haha!
