ALL-STAR TEAMS POLICY
Yes. The 1965 International Congress established the following recommendation. Yes that's 19 sixty-five. Five groups should be involved in selecting the tournament team;
  1. Major level players
  2. Managers
  3. Coaches
  4. Volunteer umpires (if you have them)
  5. League Officers (i.e. President, VP's, secretary, treasurer, player agents)
Each group meets separately. Within each group, each member lists the 14 players he/she thinks should be on the team. Each individual group then counts the votes for each player and determines its team. At this point there are 5 lists with 14 names on each.

At a meeting of the Board of Directors, each of the 5 lists are read and the votes for each player counted. (A player can have a maximum of 5 votes at this point.) The 14 top vote getters are the team. Ties for the last position or positions are broken by a majority vote of the Board members.
