Each coach must vote for twelve players if there are at least twelve players being nominated. Voting is based on power ranking with the first player on the ballot receiving twelve points, the second player receiving eleven points, etc. The player receiving the most points is named AAC Player of the Year. If there is a tie for the Player of the Year, we will recognize the players as Co-Players of the Year. Nominations must be faxed to the chair on the Monday prior to the tournament.
Voting takes place at the coaches meeting at the conference tournament.
All players meeting the requirements will be honored. An official transcript or registrar's official form in the NAIA handbook must also be given to the chair prior to the coaches meeting in November. Voting to confirm the nominees will take place at the conference tournament. Each coach selects the officials for their home matches. Regular season officials are selected by the host school.
