All-Star teams will be formed based on current player League Age based on National Babe Ruth policy. The current respective Division Commissioners, Player Agents, and Executive Board will form the All-Star Committee that will be responsible for All-Star Team selection as noted in these Bylaws.

All players will play on the All-Star team that is formed for their respective League Age. However, a player may play up (play on a team comprised of older players) under certain circumstances. The All-Star Committee can recommend a player to evaluate for a higher aged All-Star team. The player must have competed in the Spring recreation division that they are evaluating for at All- Stars (ex. League Age 8 player must play in the Minors (9U/10U) division to evaluate for the 9U All-Star team). Player(s) that have been selected to evaluate for a higher aged team should evaluate within the top 5 to play up. The final ruling on players evaluating for an older team and/or playing up will be determined by the Division Commissioner, Player Agents, the Manager of the older age group All Star team, and the Executive Board. Players cannot play up to form a B team.

ALL STAR TEAM SELECTION PROCESS (Spring Season Only)

The following will outline the selection of the All Star team managers and coaches.

1. Any manager or coach in the current Spring season may express an interest to manage that season’s All-Star team. They can manage at any age level they choose.
2. The candidate will express his/her interest in managing an All-Star team. During this correspondence, the candidate will explain his/her qualifications and why he/she wants to manage.
3. Once the candidates are announced, the managers within the applicable division (as available), the Division’s Commissioner, and the Executive Board will be asked to vote on the candidate desired. A majority of the votes will determine the All-Star manager. If no candidate receives a majority of the votes during the first vote (which could happen when three (3) or more candidates are applying), then the top two (2) candidates will be announced, and the managers within the applicable division (as available), the Division’s Commissioner, and the Executive Board will vote a second time. If there is a tie after the second vote, then a majority vote from the Executive Board will determine who will be the All-Star manager. All conflicted parties (family members, the coaches themselves, etc.) will remove themselves from the voting process.
4. Once the All-Star manager is selected, he/she then selects three (3) coaches who are actively coaching within the league to assist with the All-Star team.

All Star Player Selection Process

1. Each team's managers will get to nominate players for the upcoming All-Star Evaluations. The number of nominations will be determined by the Executive Board based on the number of recreational league teams in the respective season and the needed number of players for the respective All-Star team roster.
2. Once nominations are received, the league’s VP of Operations will send emails to the nominee players' parents, advising them of their selection and inviting them to the All-Star Evaluations.
3. At the All-Star Evaluations, each nominee player will be scored on Athleticism, Throwing, Infield, Outfield, and Batting. Each category will be scored between 0 (lowest) and 5 (highest). Orlando Babe Ruth League Bylaws – April 2021
4. Those eligible to officially score the nominee players during the All-Star Evaluations are as follows: two (2) league-registered "coaching representatives" (i.e., a manager and a coach, or two (2) coaches) per team within the applicable division; the applicable Division Commissioner; the Player Agents, and the Executive Board (if available).
5. After the All-Star Evaluations, the eligible scorers will submit their score sheets to the All- Star Scoring Committee (which will be comprised of the applicable All-Star team manager, the Vice President of Operations, and the Player Agents, with the option of the other Executive Board members to attend should they so choose). The Scoring Committee will then average the scores of all the nominee players and rank the players.
6. Once the averages are calculated, the top six (6) players of each division will automatically make the All-Star team. The All-Star manager and his/her coaches can then select up to nine (9) additional players of their choosing to complete their team (for a maximum total of fifteen (15) All-Star players per team). Teams must roster a minimum of twelve (12) players.
7. there are 2 All Star teams planned for an age group the "A" team will have the top six (6) players of the division, and the All-Star "A" manager and his/her coaches will make their selections of up to nine (9) additional players. Then, the "B" team will have the remaining top six (6) players of the division, and the All-Star "B" manager and his/her coaches will make their selections of up to nine (9) additional players.
8. The final total/average player scores (without disclosing the names of the scorers or their scores) will be available to any parent of a nominee player who makes such a request.
9. After each All-Star team is selected, the league’s VP of Operations will send out congratulatory notices to each of the All-Star players.
