ALL-STAR MANAGER SELECTION PROCESS
 
BOYS – 9 & 10 and 11& 12 Season 2010
For Sanctioned Little League Tournament Teams

It is the intent of Boardman Community Baseball to select the most qualified person(s) to be the manager of all Little League sanctioned All-Star teams. With this in mind, the following step-by-step process will be used to select the All-Star managers.

1. Any manager wishing to manage a sanctioned All-Star team must turn in an application form. Managers may obtain an application form from their respective player agent starting the first week of the season. All applications must be turned into the division player agent on or before May 23th. Any manager expressing interest after this date will not be considered. For the 2010 season, BCB will be entering 1 team of 11-12 year old players, 2 teams of 11 year old players and 2 teams for the 9-10 year players as a result; there is a need for 2 managers for these positions. A manager must declare that he/she is applying for an 11only/11-12 year old team or the 9 & 10 year team.

2. The Player Agent, Vice President of that division and the League President will interview each manager who has expressed an interest. The intent of this interview is to be sure each candidate is fully aware of the responsibilities of the All-Star manager – practice commitments, travel time, finances, etc. In addition, the manager should be able to demonstrate having knowledge of the skill level of the players in his/her division. This is necessary to insure the manager can field a well- rounded team. At the time of the interview, the manager candidate needs to present a list of potential coaches who may assist him. The league officials mentioned above have the right to disapprove coach selections. This group may decide, after the interview, a candidate is not suited for the manager position and that candidate will not be entered into the voting process that follows below.

3. The following voting process will take place in which each All-Star manager candidate will be considered.

a. The Player Agent will decide which candidate he/she feels is the most qualified. A favorable vote from the Player Agent will be worth one point (if the player agent is a manager candidate, this votes goes to the Division VP, should the Division VP be a manager candidate, this vote will go to the President of the League). Note, for age divisions with more than one team there will be points awarded to 2 candidates.

b. The managers of the appropriate divisions will meet to vote on whom they feel is the most qualified to be the all-Star manager. In attendance will be the managers of each team, the Player Agent and the Division Vice President. Each manager’s favorable vote will be worth one point. The voting will be done by secret ballot but will be signed by person who voted. Note, for age divisions with more than one team there will be voting for 2 candidates. The individuals seeking the manager positions will explain to the managers in attendance why he/she feels they are qualified to be the all star manager. For the 2010 season, the major division managers will votes for manager of the 4 11 year old teams and the 11-12 year old team. The managers in the minor division and any major manager who is being considered as the manager of the 9&10 year old teams will vote for the manager of the 9&10 year old teams. To be clear, not all major managers will be voting on the manager selection for 9&10 all stars.

c. In the Major League division only, the manager of the team with the best record at the end of the first half of the regular season (approximately May 29, 2010) will automatically be awarded one point (this is for the 11 year old only or the 11-12 year old team). If the first half ends in a tie, one point will be awarded to the manager of each team. If the manager of the first half champion is not a candidate for the All-Star manager position, the point earned will not be awarded to any other manager.

d. The Player Agent and Division Vice President will tabulate the point totals. The candidate(s) with the most points will be declared the All-Star manager. In the event the vote ends in a tie the managers will vote a second time, by secret ballot, in an effort to break the tie. If this vote does not break the tie the Division Vice President will be given a vote to break the tie. If the Division VP is one of the manager candidates this tie breaker vote will be given to the President of the League.

e. In summary, one point will be awarded to the candidate(s) who receives a favorable vote from the Player Agent (or alternate as per above). One point will be awarded for a favorable vote from each manager of that division. One point will be awarded to the major manager of the team with the best record at the conclusion of the first half. The Division Vice President (or President as above) will only vote to break a tie.

4. The selection process will be completed and the All-Star manager will be announced during the first week of June.

5. The selected manger must submit his request for coaches to the Division Vice President within 1 day following his/her selection as manager. The division Player Agent, division Vice President and League President will approve or disapprove, at their sole discretion, the requested coaches. This will be done based on discussions with the manager as needed. This process will be completed within 2 days of the manager submitting his/her request for coaches.
