All-Star Eligibility and
Practice:
Eligibility
for All-Star division play is based exclusively on
age as set forth by the Southern California Amateur
Softball Association (ASA). There are four ASA
divisions: 8 & under, 10 & under, 12 &
under and 14 & under. Age eligibility is
determined based on a player’s age as of January 1st
of the current year.
All-Star
teams are not allowed to be selected or practice
before the 1st of May. Regular season
team practice will take precedence over All-Star
team practice until the regular season has ended.
All-Star Selection Committee:
The
purpose of the All-Star Selection Committee (the
Committee) is to supervise the selection process of
All-Star managers and players. The Committee will
consist of the Commissioner, the Player Agent and a
Board Member at Large to be appointed by the
President. All players selected to an All-Star team
are subject to approval by the Committee.
All-Star Manager Selection
Procedure:
The
Commissioner or the Player Agent will contact each
team manager to determine if they are interested in
managing an All-Star team. Interested managers will
have their names placed in nomination. Managers may
nominate themselves in a division other than the
division they are managing during the regular season
(for example, a minor division manager may place
their name in nomination as the rookie All-Star
manager). Each manager will vote for one of the
nominees in their respective division, with each
manager eligible to vote in only one division. In
addition to the manager’s votes, the Commissioner
and the Player Agent shall each have one vote in
each division.
In the
event the Commissioner or Player Agent is a nominee,
they may not vote in their capacity as a Committee
member for the division is which they are a nominee,
and the Board Member at Large will then become the
voting member of the Committee. In the event of a
tie vote, the nominees may be interviewed by the
Committee and the league President. If the Committee
is unable to reach a decision, the league President
will cast the deciding vote.
If no
regular season manager places their name in
nomination to manage the All-Star team in a certain
division, then the Board of Directors (the Board)
may extend the offer to assistant managers or other
qualified candidates. The Committee will endeavor to
present final All-Star manager selections to the
Board during the April board meeting. Final All-Star
manager selections are subject to approval by the
Board.
All-Star Player Selection
Procedure:
Each
regular season team manager will be contacted by the
Commissioner or the Player Agent and asked to
nominate a minimum of two eligible players (there is
no maximum) from their team for an All-Star team. In
addition, each team manager will be asked to
nominate five eligible players from the rest of
their division. Any eligible player participating in
a higher division during the regular season will
automatically have their name placed in nomination.
The
Committee will compile a list of nominees and submit
them to the managers in their respective divisions
for vote. Each manager will receive seven votes. The
votes from each manager will be tallied and used for
placing girls on the All-Star team as "league-wide"
selections. The seven players receiving the most
votes will be placed on the All-Star team as
league-wide selections. However, in order to be
considered for league-wide selection, a player must
receive a minimum of two votes. The names of the
remaining nominees will be given to the All-Star
team manager for review and selection, although
nomination is not required to be selected for the
All-Star team. The All-Star manager is responsible
for selecting the remaining players (up to a maximum
of 14 players) on the team. An All-Star manager may
request a player voted in as a league wide selection
be removed for cause. The Committee will be
responsible for reviewing any such request. All
players selected to an All-Star team are subject to
approval by the Committee.
All-Star "B-Team" Formation:
The
Board may consider forming a second All-Star team
(or "B-Team") in the Rookie and Minor divisions. The
manager receiving the second most votes during the
All-Star manager selection process will receive
first consideration for the B-Team manager position,
the B-Team manager may also be appointed by the
Board. All manager selections are subject to
approval by the Board.
Any
eligible player receiving a vote during the league
wide selection process that was not placed on an
All-Star team will automatically be placed on the
B-Team. The B-Team manager is then responsible for
selecting the remaining players (up to a maximum of
14 players) on the team. The manager may request a
player voted in as a league wide selection be
removed for cause. The Committee will be responsible
for reviewing any such request. All players selected
to an All-Star team are subject to approval by the
Committee.
