2017 Ladder Winners

[A Canadian Cat]

I hear ya but I'm not sure now that really would feel. While it is true for the Top Score award it is nearly comes down to he who plays the most wins (unless there are bunch of players who play a similar amount). The ELO score focuses much more on wining but even then someone with a good win rate and double the games still gets an edge.

But if you exclude someone who won last year is that really fair? If they are a good player or perhaps the best why shouldn't they win?

You are very gracious but I think we would need to hear a lot more people requesting that before it would even be considered. Even then I would be a no vote :) not that I get any final say :)
