36ers MVP Dinner
No no no Isaac. That would not be the same. You need to be there to accept the award. There has to be a better time to present it when the players are all there.

It is a well known fact that imports in particular leave as soon as the season has ended and know one is definite of the timing. An MVP award ceremony should have tentative dates set on it and ready to go within days of the end of season. It is held on site at the Dome, how can there be problems like booking a venue.
It doesn't need a big name MC like Graeme Goodings, so forward planning is not needed there either. Presentations can be made by management and there would be no excuse for anything of more importance to coincide with that day.
The utmost importance when planning an award like this has to be the availability of players to attend. Expecially those who are more like to win it. Who are they going to present this award to if the winner is not there? Mum, dad, wife, brother, sister, next door neighbour?
If all this is impossible, defer it until September when all the players are back. Surely that's better than not having the guest of honour present.

We bombed out of the first elimination last year as well, but all the players were still about.

Early April? What's with the timing when the most likely contenders have already left the country?
