Procedure of the election
First, five monthly winners are determined. For this purpose, four players per month are nominated to stand for election. Due to only a few match days in September 2023, the first two months were combined into one election. The five monthly winners will then compete for the title of "Young Star of the 2023/24 season" at the start of the playoffs.
The election consists of two components: in addition to the fan voting on the league website, the TV experts from Austria, Italy and Slovenia also cast their votes. If two or more players receive the same number of votes, they will be ranked according to the result of the fan vote.
The monthly winners of the Young Star voting so far
Senna Peeters | HCI | September/October
Lucas Thaler | RBS | November
Finn van Ee | KAC | December
Mathias Böhm | VIC | January
