Each guy earned his spot as a finalist, but voters—50 nationwide media members who cover the league—are tasked with finding the edge each has over the other. The votes are tabulated by each voter listing their top five for each award. A first-place vote is worth 10 points, a second-place vote is worth 5 points, and third, fourth, and fifth place are worth 3, 2, and 1 points, respectively. The weighted point system awards those with the most points.
