4. HMGS PELA* AWARDS “Best of time slot”
[* PELA is “Pour Encourager Les Autres” in HMGS'ese “To Encourage
Others.” Which comes from Voltaire, referring to (English) Admiral
Byng, who was court-marshalled and shot for failing to do his utmost
at the battle of Minorca. The rest of the quote, in English

and then, to encourage the others.”]

B. “GM BATTLE STREAMERS” are an “impact award” of a Flag
Streamer and an HMGS Certificate. Rather than attempting to pick one
“Best GM” from diverse fields of various methods, historical periods,
scales, and sizes of events, judges will provide general recognition for as
many GM’s as possible in a given time slot.

DISCLAIMER: If anyone was left out, please let us know. As always, recognition is
a subjective thing, and only intended to recognize, not "RANK" GM's. Apologies
are offered in advance for those whose event was omitted or not deservedly
recognized by the GM Judging teams (who volunteered their own convention time
to serve.)
