- The nominated player should have won weekly MVP honors or had excellent player data during the regular season;
- The nominated player should have committed no serious violations.
The three (3) nominees will be ranked from 1-to 3, with 1 being the highest. The top rank will receive 5 points, and rank 2 and 3 players will be allocated 3 and 1 points, respectively.
