I actually expected the voting to be extremely tight but it turned out to be pretty much a two horse race from the get go. It was neck and neck between Bertens and Vulcan however the last 3 voters really had impact on who were going to be starter. Bertans received 9 maximum votes compared to Vulcan who only grabbed 3 votes. This meant that Bertens clearly leapfrogged ahead of Vulcan to become the East Point Guard starter.

East Shooting Guards

26 (6/3/2) - Viktor Csörgõ (19802932) - Skyhook Dreamers

10 (1/2/3) - Archie Dougan (25104384) - Los Coolfreakz El'Ninios
1 (0/0/1) - Leon Boise (6912794) - Home Axis

Csörgõ's numbers alone were already going to be difficult to challenge this season and as shown he dominated the voting. However some unexpected twists and turns saw backup spot became an extremely close race. The final vote made the difference with Kesonen receiving one vote while Garbos receiving zilch! So it came down to a tie breaker.

It was difficult choice as both really deserve to be selected as an allstar. Both were popular with managers with Garbos voted 6 times and Kesonen 7 times although Garbos received the maximum 3 votes twice compared to Kesonen once. Also going through MVP votes, they were equal which was no help there. So in the end I had to look at statistics and individual games. Statistically they were even if comparison per 36 minutes but one thing that won me over was the defensive side of Kesonen with way more steals and blocks. So Kesonen gets the vote ahead of Garbos.

Johnson fantastic Fishbowl season so far was rewarded the title as best East Small Forward garnering 10 out of 12 maximum votes by the Fishbowl managers. However not be forgotten, Faka stormed home over the top of Pronin with 12 votes to 3 to also grab an allstar spot as backup.

3 (0/1/1) - Artemiy Dayneko (14865427) - JW City Bulls

The voting was primarily dominated by three men with one standout in the name of Viojan. Viojan just like Johnson was a favourite among the managers giving him majority of the maximum votes. While Mayriedl just pipped Mr Consistent Mahmute. It was another nail biting finish as the final voter once again was the difference giving Mayriedl 2 votes and Mahmute 1 vote to end the debate who deserved the backup Power Forward spot.

At one stage in the voting, Shelden was lead dog but slipped away as the final votes came in and left Weipeng and Kuljović to fight for the starter and backup spots. Once again it was a close race and as every vote counts, Wepeng grabbing the last 3 maximum votes was enough to get over the line as starting Centre.

The wildcard voting in the East was extremely tight up until the end. It was up for grabs and kept changing as more votes rolled in. Mahmute who have been brilliant all season as one of the top 3 East MVPs failed to grab a maximum vote. But was consistently good enough to grab second and third place votes from managers to get himself an entry to the East allstars as a wildcard. It would have been blasphemous if he had missed out. While for the final wildcard spot, somehow Sheldon just held on even though the last four managers failed to give him a single vote. As for remaining players who were unlucky not to be named allstar, hopefully their second half of the Fishbowl season could be even better to be recognised and voted as All-Fishbowl first team.

McArthur the King of Point Guards. He has been everywhere scoring the needed points, grabbing the boards and dishing the ball to his fellow team mates. The managers couldn't look away from this amazing performance except for maybe one manager who simply just preferred Awang as the best performing point guard in the West. Winks at Mllama. No it wasn't Mllama who gave Awang the three votes. Awang was fantastic as well but just not in the same stratosphere as McArthur. :p

Xie without a doubt deserve allstar starter as he dominated the voting for West Shooting Guards. He's been consistently sensational for the Goldfish leading the scoring with an average of over 30 points per game. Blum took the backup spot. The voting might have seemed close but Rodríguez only starting picking up votes pretty late when it was clear Blum had a solid grip over second place.

West Small Forwards

18 (1/7/1) - Marko Sperbert (10748693) - Chelsea Seagulls
16 (4/0/4) - Wazza Kennerley (10657749) - Koopasaurus
16 (3/3/1) - Virgil Wang (18085583) - Guanzheng Goldfish
11 (2/1/3) - Birol Yalduz (10657749) - Lewisham Wombats
4 (1/0/1) - Andrians Helvigs (15003603) - Baxter Bogans
1 (0/0/1) - Gerd Jahe (10951836) - Chumunga

Probably one of the most competitive allstar positions in the entire Fishbowl. Any of the top four deserved an allstar spot but surprisingly Helvigs not as popular as the other four who had a fantastic scoring season so far struggled to get much attention from the managers. As for the top four it came down to the final few votes. Before the final three voters, Birol had a shot of grabbing a Small Forward allstar spot but they went in the favour of Wazza receiving 7 votes, Sperbert with 5 votes, Wang with 5 votes and himself with just 1 vote was knocked out of contention. Sperbert only received the maximum once but consistently the managers voted him as second best and that was enough to get up as top dog. Wazza only tied with the final vote with maximum votes while Wang had nil.

Since it's another tie breaker, I'll need to decide who's backup. Voting wise, both receive similar amount of recognition from the Fishbowl managers and in the MVP votes Wang is just ahead. Looking at the stats itself, Wang clearly had a much better Fishbowl season so far so he gets my vote ahead of Wazza.

2 (0/0/2) - Nigel Cubby (9441854) - Chumunga

Manfrotto just like McArthur just missed out on perfect votes after a fine first half of the Fishbowl season. Cunming and Lawrance were neck and neck for the backup position and once again the final few votes were critical. The final votes were read out with 3 votes to Manfrotto, 2 votes to Delgadillo and hoping for the final vote, Cunming instead snatches it to end all hopes for a tie breaker.

2 (0/1/0) - Vilimantas Laumianskas (18114753) - Lewisham Wombats

Fish and Berry unluckily had to face off against Wilt and Shaq like numbers. Muresan and Olli were so dominate in the Fishbowl this season that very little separated them in the voting. In the end Muresan prevailed even though Olli is currently the West MVP leader. Time will tell who will end up as the best at the end of the Fishbowl season.

11 (0/4/3) - Marcelo Rodríguez (19280995) - Moorditj Magick

With the voting for the Small Forward position so tight, it wouldn't have been a surprise if both of the Wildcard positions were occupied by Small Forwards. Wazza easily snagged one but the final Wildcard spot belonged to Lawrance. Hot Rod's blazing finish and Yalduz votes been taken away by his fellow rivals meant that it was not enough to challenge Lawrance who so far has been one of the reasons why the Seagulls are in the playoffs berth in the West.

West Wildcard: Wazza Kennerley (10657749) - Koopasaurus

Just a quick recap for all to see. The shepparton shooters have 2 starters in the East while the Chelsea Seagulls have 3 players in the West. As for the Wildcard positions it has been dominated by front court players in both the East and West.

Nice work, and congrats to all those who now have allstars!

I managed to give 9 out of 10 of the starters 3 votes - only missed out on Guanzheng, I had Blum ahead of him. Buggered up on a few of the backups though. And I should changed my votes for the SF position (for the record, I didn't give Birol any votes).

Surprised a little by the West SF voting - I felt that Wang and Sperbert were clearly the best two. Had Helvigs next (how did he not get more votes?), probably would have gone Birol next, then Wazza/Phung close together.

This is so far beyond brilliant that I can't believe it. Just sensational woek. I have read it all and will read it all again later. Amazing! Thanks to all the voters as well.

Awesome work whitebeard...

Your time on the extras has been really adding to the Fishbowl this season

I'd give another +1 today if I could. Brilliant work, Whitebeard.

I thought Hot Rod would have a crack at the wildcard...nearly.

Well done to all those managers with allstars.
I'm already excited about next year's...

good stuff +1

+1s for this fo shizzle.
