The format shown below is what the commissioners have approved for previous years in regards to how many players any one team may submit for consideration to make the Midget Division All-Star team.  The amount of players that any one team may submit for consideration to make the All-Star team will be determined by your team’s final regular season standings.  This is only for the Super Bowl All-Star awards and has nothing to do with the numbers for the Senior Bowl games. Coaches should start to think of which players that they will be submitting for consideration.  We will be doing the selection process in the next couple of weeks with a special meeting for nominations and voting to take place. Also note... all coaches and team reps will be receiving special ballots this year for voting for a new award which will be a Team Sportsmanship award.  We will be giving out 8 of these... one for each level in each conference.  Midget Division All-Stars for all conferences.  Everything will be conducted as it was the past couple of years with only a slight modification.  Each team can nominate first their best player for the League MVP award for each Conference.  2nd, each team can nominate 1 player for Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year as well.  As before, the MVP player nominated can be also nominated as Offensive player or Defensive Player of the Year but not for both.  It is recommended that teams if possible should nominate 3 different players from their teams so as to get as many players noticed and recognized for their efforts this past season.  The major changes for these 2 Divisions will be that all coaches will be required to attend a special nomination meeting to be held in the next few weeks and during this meeting they will nominate their players and get to talk about them for a max of up to 1 minute per player to the other coaches.  The second change is that for the Peewee and Pony Divisions only, each player that is submitted for an award from the Division Champions will receive a bonus voting point prior to the counting of the votes.  The players in Divisions 1 and 3 will each receive 1 extra Champions vote and the players in Division 2 and 4 will each receive 1/2 of a voting point prior to the final count.  Divisions 1 and 3 have on paper harder schedules the other 2 divisions and thus the reason for the difference in points.  This is a small change that will not make much of a difference except in trying to make fewer ties that we had in the past. Ties should go to the Champions anyway in most cases.  Another reason for coaches to pick the Best players in the league, not a buddy’s kid. A coach from each team must attend their respective meeting. The coaches should bring with them to this meeting that will be announced later, the players names, numbers worn this year, and as well the players birth dates and if this player is a first or last year player for this division.  All info will be verified later, however, the spelling of the players names will be printed as brought to the selection meeting.  There will be no time to make edits to names... so bring the correct spellings. Do not guess on the spellings of any player. Verify with that player’s parents how they spell and would want their kid’s names spelled. There can not be changes after the meeting as the printer and awards guy will have the names the next day. No changes will be done. As, also, I will be in away and not in PA the following weeks after the selection is completed and names submitted.
