All-Stars for the upcoming softball year have been formulated and are now posted online. Each all-star restricted list is now separated by year (below). The main file, All-Star Restricted List/All Players/Current Status, contains a listing of current all-star from previous years and their current status as an all-star for the upcoming year. If a player is on this list, that player received all-star status in one or more years since 2001. If a player is on the current list and shaded in green, that player was petitioned (with good cause) for release from the list. Please see Petition Guidelines below.
It is the sole responsibility of the coed team manager to maintain a legal coed line-up with respect to the all-star/eddie rule. The All-Star Restricted List/All Players/Current Status will always be available from the Softball America home page or by clicking the link below.
All-Star Restricted List/All Players/Current Status
All-Star/Eddie Rule
A team batting line-up containing more than 4 all-stars shall abide by the all-star/eddie rule and must at all times maintain a batting line-up that contains at least an equal number of eddies. A team with a batting line-up containing 4 or less all-stars will abide by regular coed rules. If, at any time during the regular season, by any member of Softball America, a team using 5 or more all-stars is found to be in default of the all-star/eddie rule, that team will forfeit all games in which the infraction occurred. All-stars are determined by the league and shall be adjusted yearly.
All-Star Criteria/New Players
Any player on the All-Star Restricted List/All Players/Current Status list with the exception of players shaded in green shall be considered an all-star for the upcoming coed softball year. A player that has never played in any Softball America league may enter any coed league as a core player; however, Softball America shall reserve the right to change a members status from season to season if in the judgment of the league that member is of obvious all-star ranking. All-star status is determined by statistical formula based on a minimum of 36 at-bats per calendar year. The formula takes into account the following offensive categories: R%, RBI%, Avg, Slg, BB%.
Petition Guidelines
Managers will have the right to petition the league with regard to a players all-star ranking at any time if, and only if, that player has NOT become an all-star on last year's merits. If a player is on the all-star restricted list as a result of merits in a year previous to last year and that player qualified last year (36 AB's) but failed to achieve all-star status, a manager may petition the league in writing to have that player released from the list. The player will then be re-evaluated. In other words a player must prove they do not belong on the list by qualifying for and not achieving all-star ranking in a year following their being named an all-star. Not playing for a year or 2, or playing a minimal amount (below the 36 at-bat requirement), shall not be grounds to petition for a players release from the list. Regardless of subsequent player production, once all-star status is achieved, the all-star will remain such unless formally petitioned for and granted a release.
