MASL Announces Coach of the Year and GK Nominees
April 15, 2020 - Major Arena Soccer League (MASL) News Release
ONTARIO, California - The Major Arena Soccer League (MASL) today announced Florida Tropics Head Coach Clay Roberts as the recipient of the MASL Coach of the Year for the 2019-2020 season and the Goalkeeper of the Year nominees.
Roberts guided the Tropics to a series of franchise bests in his fourth season behind the bench. The team clinched the regular season top spot in the Eastern Conference with an 18-3 record as well as their first-ever MASL playoff berth after a franchise-worst 6-18 record the previous year.
Each active MASL player, head coach, and one member of each team front office were invited to submit one ballot. Voting was based on the regular season performances.
Calculating the 1st, 2nd and 3rd All-MASL Teams are based on a point system. Players receive three points for a 1st team vote, two points for the 2nd team, and one point for a 3rd team vote. The highest number of points is then calculated to determine three Forward/Midfielders in each team, then two Defenders, and one GK. In case of a tie in points, it is determined by who had more 1st team votes, then 2nd team. The All-Rookie Team is selected by the highest total votes by position (F, M/F, D, GK). Individual Major Awards are based on the highest number of total votes. Tiebreakers go to the player with the most all league points or it can be determined a tie.
