History
The Marvin Beisel Award was established by a unanimous vote of the Captains at the Spring 1985 registration meeting. The honor is accorded to that member of the League who has, in the opinion of the Board of Governors, exhibited an "unusual dedication to the L.A. Pool League." Formerly known as the Mike LaVoie Award, it was renamed in Marvin's honor. Nominations are submitted in writing by the membership during the regular season to the President or Statistician. A vote of the Board, by secret ballot, is generally held immediately prior to the Awards Banquet
