The All-CNY Girls Tennis Player of the Year: How Voting Works & How to Win

What the All-CNY Girls Tennis Player of the Year is and who runs it

Decided entirely by readers, the All-CNY Girls Tennis Player of the Year honors one high school girls tennis player in New York at the close of a season. All-CNY runs the program, and Crowdsignal's poll.fm pages host the ballot at https://poll.fm/14815752. The format is a single-question reader vote: the page presents the nominees for the girls tennis player of the year question and lets any visitor select a favorite, then view the running results on the same page.

Within the sport vertical, this program belongs to the family of New York public-vote ballots covered alongside the weekly athlete and player of the week polls that other publishers run across the state. What separates it from those weekly series is scope. Rather than honoring a performance from a single week, this ballot asks readers to name a girls tennis player of the year for the All-CNY coverage area, which makes it a season-capping question instead of a recurring weekly one.

For quick reference, the essentials of this All-CNY award are laid out in the table underneath, drawn from the ballot and the program listing. Where a detail such as a sponsor name or a prize description goes unpublished, the table leaves the cell out rather than guessing at it.

The dated facts behind the All-CNY girls tennis vote

Two editions of the All-CNY Girls Tennis Player of the Year stand confirmed, in 2023 and 2024. The 2024 ballot carried the title asking who the 2024 All-CNY girls tennis player of the year is, and its voting window fell in December, opening and closing inside that month. December placement is the only timing fact the ballot establishes; the day voting starts and the day it ends are nowhere on the page.

Recurrence past those two years is unsettled too. The annual label rests on the 2023 and 2024 editions, but nothing states which year the next one falls in, and no date has been announced for a later cycle. All-CNY has published no start or end date for the December window, no list of ballot categories, no ceiling on how often one person may vote, and no eligibility text; confirm on the live ballot each cycle.

Planning around this program is hard for that reason. Nobody can mark a calendar from this page, because All-CNY has printed neither a start date nor a close date. The nomination side is equally quiet: nothing on the ballot describes how nominees are chosen or whether a separate nomination round runs before voting opens. The honest reading is that the vote happens in December, that 2023 and 2024 both produced editions, and that everything else about the schedule waits on the live page.

How a supporter votes in the All-CNY girls tennis poll today

Voting in the All-CNY Girls Tennis Player of the Year takes a short sequence on the Crowdsignal ballot at https://poll.fm/14815752. The page is titled around the 2024 All-CNY girls tennis player of the year question, and it lists the nominees for the award, each shown with her school affiliation. A supporter reads the list, selects a nominee, and casts a vote for that player. A View Results link sits beside the vote control, so the running tally is visible on the same page without any extra step.

No login appears anywhere on the ballot, and account creation goes unmentioned; the page presents the choice and the vote control directly. What it leaves unstated is the repeat question: whether one person may vote several times, whether a return visit counts, and whether any rate limit applies. None of that is printed on the page, so a supporter planning returns across the December window has no published rule to check against first.

Since the ballot asks one question against a fixed nominee list, there is no write-in step and no category picker to work through. The whole action is: open the poll.fm page, choose a nominee from the girls tennis list, cast the vote, and open the results link to see where the tally stands. Nothing else on the page asks anything of the voter.

Where this ballot sits among New York's public-vote programs

The All-CNY Girls Tennis Player of the Year belongs to a New York family of public-vote sports ballots. Its sibling programs are the Buffalo News Prep Talk Girls Athlete of the Week, the Hudson Valley New York High School Football Player of the Week, the lohud Boys Basketball Player of the Week, the Lohud Girls Basketball Player of the Week, the New York High School Football Player of the Week, and the New York Section 1 High School Football Player of the Week.

The differences run along three lines. Sport: this is the tennis ballot in the group, where the siblings cover football and basketball. Cadence: the siblings recur week to week during a season, while the All-CNY question is asked once per cycle as a year-end honor. Audience: two of the siblings are dedicated to girls athletes or girls basketball, and this ballot sits on that same side of the high school sports world.

For a reader comparing options across New York, the practical takeaway is that every program answers to a different organizer and a different ballot page, so rules, windows and nominee lists never carry over between them. A rule printed on a weekly football poll says nothing about the All-CNY girls tennis vote, and the December window here has no counterpart in a weekly series that opens and closes inside a single season week.

Strengthening support for an All-CNY girls tennis nominee

Getting votes behind an All-CNY girls tennis nominee means moving real people to the Crowdsignal ballot during the December window. Since this ballot asks one question against a fixed nominee list, every vote a nominee receives has to come from someone who opens the poll.fm page and selects that player, so the practical work is reaching the people likeliest to care: the school community behind the nominee, tennis families in the All-CNY coverage area, and followers of the high school girls tennis season.

All-CNY has published no statement on outside help or voting software, and the ballot prints no ceiling on repeat voting, so the safe reading is that the organizer's own rules govern and that anything inflating the tally artificially puts the result in question.
