A member who has been granted the Balling Award five times, and is again felt to have made the largest contribution, is instead granted the Metzler Award, and is ineligible for both awards thereafter.
==Procedure==
Should the individual elected already have five grants of the Balling Award, the Metzler Award will be presented instead. In years the Metzler Award is granted, no grant of a Balling Award will be made. This could be subject to change, were two exceptionally worthy individuals identified.
Consuls [[Headquarters Staff]] will prepare a suitable certificate of award, and send it to the individual along with a letter of congratulation from the [[Chairman]] or [[President]].
It has been suggested that a plaque be designed and presented at that year's [[Annual Convention]]. If the member fails to attend, the plaque would be shipped to them after the Convention. No funding or design for such have yet been proposed.
