Two beat writers from each BBWAA chapter per league city get ballots for the major awards (MVP, CYA, ROY, and Manager). (There's supposed to be no overlap and no repeat voters year to year.) So, there are 28 ballots cast for the AL awards, 32 for the NLs.

The CYA, ROY, and Mgr have three slots on the ballots, with points assigned thus: 5 points for first place, 3 for second, 1 for third. Highest point total wins the league award. Winning 20+ games helps greatly, despite that this one stat is well-established as being one of the least indicative of the pitcher's performance. Old habits die hard no matter how thoroughly discredited they may be.

MVP ballots have ten slots. First place is worth 14 points, second 9 points, third 8 points, and on down to tenth for one point. Again, highest point total wins.
