Most valuable player

In sports, a most valuable player (MVP) award is an honor typically bestowed upon an individual as the most performing player (or players) in an entire league, for a particular competition, or on a specific team. Initially used in professional sports, the term is now also commonly used in amateur sports, as well as in other completely unrelated fields such as business and music. In many sports, MVP awards are presented for a specific match—in other words, a player of the match award.

The term is most common in the United States and Canada. In most other countries around the world, "player of the year" is used for a season-spanning award and "player of the match" for individual games. In Australia, Australian rules football clubs and leagues use the term "best and fairest", while those playing rugby league use "player of the year", such as the Dally M Medal.[3] The National Basketball League, however, uses the American-style "MVP" for its awards.

In many cases the awards are voted on by members of the media. In others the vote is by players, coaches, or umpires. In recent years, online polls from the public decide some awards.

gollark: Just turtles with lasers which were quite high up, so not very orbital.
gollark: You probably do need to know your actual coordinates to navigate if there's an obstruction or something.
gollark: Also, it being a "set cord" doesn't mean you can magically avoid complex navigation things, although I suppose if you don't need it to come back you can probably just... feed it coords relative to its start position, or something.
