All-Stars for the upcoming or current softball year have been formulated and are now posted online. A list of all-stars by year is shown below. Please see
All-Star Restricted List/Yearly. The main file, All-Star Restricted List/All Players/Current
Status, contains a list showing each and every all-star for the upcoming or current softball year. If a player is on this list, that player
received all-star status in one or more years since 2001. Any player shaded in green was petitioned for and granted release from the list. Please see
Petition Guidelines below.
All-Star Restricted List/All Players/Current Status
All-Star/Eddie Rule
Any coed 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.
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
The all-star restricted list is a compilation of league members since 2001 whose offensive production has placed them in the upper echelon of players in all leagues. The upper echelon is a percentage of the league's better players relative to the total number of teams in all leagues.
All-star status is determined by a statistical formula based on offensive production only. The formula takes into account AB, R%, RBI%, Avg, Slg, BB%. A minimum of 36 SBA at-bats (2 seasons) during any softball year is needed to qualify for all-star list consideration.
Any player listed for the current or upcoming year, with the exception of a player shaded in green, shall be considered an all-star for the current or upcoming coed softball year. A player that has never played in any Softball America league may enter any coed league as a core player. Softball America shall reserve the right to change a new member's status from season to season if, in the judgment of the league, that member is of obvious all-star ranking.
Petition Guidelines
Managers will have the right to petition the league with regard to a player's 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 his/her efforts 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 player's 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.
