One week remains for campaigns to get the word out about their candidates in this season's Rookie of the Year race, and Chicago, D.C. United and Dallas are doing their best to familiarize voters with the plaforms of Austin Berry, Nick DeLeon and Matt Hedges.

Hedges has had a wonderful season, and those videos were certainly clever, but it's essentially a two-man race between former college roommates coming into the final weekend of the 2012 regular season. Berry seems to be leading in the polls, but his fellow Louisville alum DeLeon is making a strong push based on D.C.'s form and climb up the Eastern Conference table.

Who will take it? They'll make their final remarks this weekend in Chicago, when they take the field opposite each other with playoff seeding – and perhaps some personal plaudits – on the line.
