The intent of this interview is to be sure each candidate is fully aware of the responsibilities as an 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.

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.
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.
c.    In the Major League division only, the manager with the team with the best record at the end of the first half will automatically be awarded one point. 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 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 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.
e.    In summary, one point will be awarded to the candidate who receives a favorable vote from the Player Agent. One point will be awarded for a favorable vote from each manager of that division. One point will be awarded to the manager of the team with the best record at the conclusion of the first half. The league Vice President 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.
