This season Rookie of the Year was definitely with TEAM GOH, but was yet to be decided between Sato and Miyake.   The result would be carried over to the final round, although Sato’s third place in Round 9 gave him 11 points taking his points tally to 25 for the season.  It meant that in round 10 Miyake was trailing Sato by 7 points giving Ren Sato the Rookie of the Year title.
