	a second-place vote gives three points and a third-place vote gets one 
	point.  
	 
	All ballots must be submitted after the first period of the final match on 
	19 October 2008 at the Maracanazinho in Rio de Janeiro at the latest, and

	award for the best goalkeeper of the tournament. It will be either Mostafa 
	Nazari (Iran) or Tiago (Brazil). Both goalkeepers can, of course, be elected 
	as best player of the tournament.  
	 
	The names of all individual award winners will be announced after the final 
	match on 19 October 2008.
