CFLLN ALL-STAR SELECTION PROCESS

All-Star Discussion Meeting

·         An All-Star Discussion Meeting shall take place 7pm on the first Sunday of June.  Each Majors, AAA, and AA CFLLN team shall send representation to the meeting.

·         At this meeting, each team will discuss performance of individual players from their respective teams to aid in the voting process.  Under no circumstance shall any outside parents or players be present at this meeting.  VP’s shall be present.

·         All player names will appear on the ballots.  There will be ballots for 12U, 11U, 10U, 9U, 8U.  Age/League eligibility for placement on ballots is detailed below.

·         This meeting is the team’s forum for discussing the all-star credentials of each player.  At this time, team representatives can also discuss if individual players should be considered as a candidate to “play up.”  Via nomination, the player will also appear on the ballot for the older league.

Note: In this case, the player will appear on two ballots.  Example: Player X is an 11 year old and his manager nominates him for 12U.  That player will appear on the 12U and 11U ballots.  Those casting votes may vote for that player for 11U only.  If the voter votes for that player for 12U, he should also vote for the player for 11U.

Voting and Selection Overview

• For all age groups, Managers and 1 coaching representative from each team will participate in voting.  Voters will vote only for players in their league, at all age groups.  Voters will not vote for players from other leagues, even if in same age group.

·         Player Agent will send ballots via e-mail. Ballots should be delivered IN PERSON in a sealed envelope to League President or designee.  Deadline for return of ballots is the Friday after the All-Star Discussion Meeting. 

• Voters will vote for up to 12 players from each age group appearing on his ballot.  It is not required that voters vote for 12, but 12 is the maximum.

• For 12U only, ALL majors players will also be given a ballot with the names of all 11 and 12 year old majors players.  Players will vote for up to 12 players and their vote will constitute 1/2 of the total 12U vote.

• Player Agent and League President will oversee counting of the ballots and will rank order players in each age-group from #1 to #13 in order of votes received. 

• With the exception of 12U, the Top 9 vote getters will be placed on the respective all-star teams.  The balance of each team will be determined via an All-Star Selection Meeting due to the potential for players in each age-group to be in 2 different leagues.  That process is detailed below. 

·         12U selection will differ since all 12U players are in majors; The Top 13 vote getters will be placed on the 12U team, of which 1 or 2 may be designated as alternates.

All-Star Selection Meeting

·         Meeting will be held 7pm the second Sunday of June.  League VPs and All-Star Managers are expected to attend in order to finalize the individual 11U, 10U, 9U, and 8U rosters.  

·         12U Manager does not need to be present as this roster will already be complete.

·         Purpose of meeting is to render final discussion of all eligible players.  The final spots for each age group will be determined by 3-person consensus of the All-Star Manager and the VPs represented by each age group.

·         In the event that the same person occupies 2 of these positions, a hierarchy is established to have additional Board Members serve in order to have 3-person consensus.  That hierarchy is as follows:

1. Player Agent

2. Executive VP

·         Player Agent shall be present during the meeting in any event to ensure players’ interests are protected.

Naming of All-Stars

·         The order of all-star naming shall necessarily be 12U, followed by 10U, 11U, 9U, then 8U.

·         This is to ensure that those who are voted to “play up” have opportunity to accept or reject the bid.  Once the older team is finalized, the finalizing of the younger league may take place.

·         Parents of elected players will be notified as soon as possible after the All-Star Selection Meeting by the All-Star managers.   If a player is unable to participate, the parent must notify the All-Star manager immediately.  Manager may then select a replacement according to rank-order of vote.

·         In addition, in the case of a player “playing up” to the older league, an additional member shall be added to the younger roster according to rank-order of vote for that respective age group.

·         Rosters will be finalized once parents have been contacted and bids have been accepted.

·         All-Star presentation ceremony will be held on June 18 @ 6pm.  NO GAMES WILL BE PLAYED AT THIS TIME.
