BEST SKIPPERS SELECTED BY IPA
This year's IPA Manager of the Year Awards went to Rocco Belasario of the Arlon Champions in the Tycobbian Union and to Vanya Vasylenko of the Valmara Vipers in the Ruthlandian Union. Belasario, a Hall of Fame player, took his club from a seventh-place finish in 2042 to the TU West crown in 2043, improving the team record from 57-97 (37 GB) to 85-69. Valmara under Vasylenko climbed up from fourth in the standings to first place in the Ruthlandian North Division, rising up from a 75-79 mark (17 GB) to the top spot with an 84-70 record.

This was the second time the IPA has given Belasario the top skipper award. He also received it in 2039. Belasario beat out Todd Simons of North Hills and Mick Cronyn of White River for the Tycobbian Manager of the Year. Simons moved his club from third to first in the TU North, while Cronyn boosted his Rascals from sixth to second place in the TU North.

Vasylenko, a first-time honoree, had three tough competitors in the Ruthlandian race. Gibby Bobkins of the Sugar Valley Rattlers was second in the voting. He won the RU East this year after finishing third in 2042. In third place was the Ranford skipper Chris Bernhoffer, who guided his Bulls up from sixth place (19 GB) to a close second in the RU North. Number four in the poll was Crystal Lake's Baby George. The Crushers jumped from fourth (4 GB) in the RU South to first place.
