Selection process

Each team shall nominate players that the manager feels are worthy of consideration. The list shall be given to the Player Agent by a set date. Nominations received after the deadline may or may not be considered at the discretion of the Board. 

The players of the league will have input on the all stars by ballot in the Bronco division. The players will rank the top nine players in the league excluding players from their own team. The Player Agent will collect the ballots. The average of the player rankings will be treated with equal weight as a single manager ranking (i.e., one vote in seven total). 

The player agent will collect and tabulate scores and prepare a rankings list for the selection meeting.

A meeting shall be held with each manager or designee attending. The teams will be selected based on vote tabulation and player ranking.
