As the Dodram 2022-2023 V-League enters the 5th round, questions are growing as to who will be honored with the Rookie of the Year Award this season.
Who will the glory of the Dodram 2022-2023 V-League Men’s Rookie Award go to? Five newcomer candidates are competing fiercely.
According to the standards of Article 52 (Commendation) of the V-League Tournament Guidelines, the New Player Award is for players (excluding foreign players) who have registered and competed in the V-League for the first time. The winner is determined by a vote by the press after the end of the regular season, and a prize of 2 million won is paid.
Unlike MVP, Best 7, Triple Crown, etc., the Rookie of the Year Award is an extremely rare and precious award as there is only one chance to win the award during the first season of a professional career.
That’s why, now that many volleyball fans have focused their attention and interest, among the 15 new players who have been steadily gaining experience by participating in more than one game this season, newbies are competing in good faith for the Rookie of the Year award by competing for the top ranks in each category. I would like to introduce you to the people.
