All-Star Manager/Player Selection Process
The goal of the All-Star Committee is to have the best possible team representing the league while giving the manager, his
coaches and the players the most efficient use of their time to prepare for the upcoming State and possible Regional
Tournaments.
Manager Selection: This process will be given to all Division Coordinators and team managers in AAA, 46/60, 50/70,
Senior, 10U softball, 12U softball, and 14U softball divisions. Any Manager or Coach interested in being a candidate will
submit his/her name to the Division Coordinator, who will then submit such names to the All-Star Committee no later than
midnight on the designated deadline. In the event that there are no candidates from the respective Division, candidates
will be considered from other levels within the division of interest ( if no AAA Managers or Coaches are interested in
managing the 8’s, a Manager or Coach from the Majors Division may submit his/her name for consideration).

**Any manager/coach that is selected to an All-Star team must have completed their Babe Ruth Coaching Certification
and must also have had a background check performed within the past 12 months**.
Once the candidates are identified, those names will be brought before the Board of Directors for approval. After Board
approval, the names will be sent back to the Division Coordinator. The Division Coordinator will advise the candidates
who will make themselves available for an All-Star Manager Selection Meeting to be held on a pre-defined date. All
candidates, managers of the respective divisions (a coach may NOT vote in place of a manager), the Division Coordinator
and the All-Star Committee need to be available for a meeting on a date TBD so that a vote can take place. Each candidate
will be given no more than 3 minutes to give an introduction of himself/herself. Upon completion of all presentations, the
managers and the All-Star Committee will conduct a blind vote electing the person who will be awarded the manager
position of the All-Star team (majority vote wins). Any All-Star Committee member who is interested in interviewing for
managing an All-Star team will only be able to vote once as a manager. He/she will not vote as an All-Star Committee
member. In the event of a tie, the lower vote recipient will be removed and a re-vote will occur. In the event of a second
tie, a revote will occur with an odd number of All-Star Committee members voting (determine by coin flip if need be). The
website will then be updated with the names of the All-Star Managers for each age group. Each manager is allotted two
roster coaches to be in the dugout. Those two coaches must have their Babe Ruth Coaching Certification and have had a
Revised, May 2013
background check within the past twelve months. All coaches must have been rostered within their respective division
during the regular season in order to coach on an All-Star team.
**Important: each team during the regular season has a manager and 2 rostered coaches (meaning that a 3rd or 4th coach
that helps during the season will NOT be eligible to manage an All-Star team**. A rostered coach must have attended and
coached at a minimum of 50% of all regular season games to be eligible to manage an All-Star team.
Note: Any previous All-Star Manager who won a State Sanctioned Tournament the prior year, will be given the first
opportunity to manage the same team, provided he/ she is a rostered manager or coach within that division. See the list
below.

Player Selection: On pre-defined date(s), each manager will nominate any All-Star caliber players from their team for
each respective age group. Once each manager has nominated their own players, they may nominate any players from
other teams that didn’t get nominated by their own manager. Note: A coach may be designated to nominate players in the
event that the manager can’t be present – this coach can ONLY nominate players prior to the vote, but will NOT take place
in the vote. In the event that either a team's manager or designated coach cannot be present, players can be nominated by
manager via e-mail to the All-Star committee prior to the nomination/vote. Note: Each manager is responsible for
contacting the parents of each of their nominations, on their team or other teams, prior to the nomination to get a verbal
commitment that they will adhere to the 75% minimum attendance requirement of all practices and 100% requirement of
all games during All-Star preparation/play.
**If a commitment is not achieved prior to the selection process that player will be deemed ineligible**.
Once the names have been presented and confirmed, the division managers will meet to vote for any eligible players to be
placed on the team. The division managers are required to select players one through ten of each All-Star team. The top ten
vote recipients, as selected by the division managers, will be placed on the All-Star Team. In the event of a tie for the tenth
player, the managers will vote again on those two players with the top vote getter receiving the tenth spot on the team. At
this point, a re-vote will occur to rank the remaining players. The All-Star manager must select at least two players to meet
the minimum twelve player requirement set forth by Babe Ruth, but no more than five to allow the maximum of fifteen. If
the All-Star Team Manager desires to choose two additional players, they must be selected from within the top five ranked

players. If three additional players are to be chosen, they must be selected from within the top seven ranked players, and so
on. (there is no need to re-rank if the number of players left on the board is within the amount the manager has to select
from – i.e. if the manager has decided he will select two additional players and there are only five players left on the board,
there is no need to re-rank since he can pick any of the five).
**If at any point a player that is contacted to represent an All-Star team declines to commit to that team, that player is
then deemed ineligible to play on any other All-Star team that year.**
All-Star nomination requirements are as follows:
Baseball: 8 Year-Old All-Star Team – player must play in the AAA division. An 8 year-old player that plays in the AA
division during the regular season is not eligible. The AAA managers will select this team. This team will compete at the
46/60 level.
Baseball: 9 Year-Old All-Star Team – player must play in the 46/60 division. A 9 year-old player that plays in the AAA
division during the regular season is not eligible. The 46/60 managers will select this team. This team will compete at the
46/60 level.
Baseball: 10 Year-Old All-Star Team – player must play in the 46/60 division. A 10 year-old player that plays AAA
during the regular season is not eligible. The 46/60 managers will select this team. This team will compete at the 46/60
level.
Baseball: 11 Year-Old All-Star Team – player must play in the 50/70 division. The 50/70 managers will select this team.
Baseball: 12 Year-Old All-Star Team – player must play in the 50/70 division. The 50/70 managers will select this team. It
is the team manager’s discretion as to what level the team competes in – 46/60 or 50/70.
As stated, it is our goal to put the best team possible on the field, so based on this premise we will have one team per age
group with the best 12-15 players selected.
Note: At the 11 y/o and 12 y/o level, if the manager decides they will play at the 50/70 level then we will NOT field a
46/60 team. If the manager decides to play at the 46/60 level then we will NOT field a 50/70 team.
Softball: 10U All-Star Team – player must play in the 10U or 12U division.
Softball: 12U All-Star Team – player must play in the 12U division. A 12U All-Star player that plays in the 16u division
during the regular season is not eligible.
Softball: 16U All-Star Team – player must play in the 16U division.
** Any player selected to play on any of the above All-Star teams must have played in at least 50% of the
regular season games in the appropriate division to be deemed eligible for All-Star play. If the total games
played is an odd number of games then the lesser number of 50% of games played is used (i.e. If 15 total games
played then the player to be eligible would have to have played in 7 games).**
