There really weren't more new TASers this year that made more than 2-3 movies?

Maybe there were, but no one bothered to nominate any.

I don't like the title of 'Rookie'. I've been a player before these guys, but I can say without a doubt that both players have done more for TASvideos than I have, so far. 'Rookie' is just such an insulting title. Perhaps 'Newcomer' would be less so, but it's still unflattering. I vote this award be abolished.

"Rookie is a term for a person who is in their first year of play of their sport and has little or no professional experience. The term also has the more general meaning of anyone new to a profession" - The all-knowing Wikipedia I see no problem with the award, or the wording it uses.

Voted for Aglar, because his contributions were more unexpected.

Voting Cpadolf, because he managed to turn Sparkster into my favorite SNES run.
How fleeting are all human passions compared with the massive continuity of ducks.
