2008 all-stars for 2009 have been formulated and are now posted on the website. Every all-star listed is automatically placed on the All-Star Restricted List.
This list is to be used in conjunction with the All-Star Eddie Rule. The link to the All-Star Restricted List will be located on the Softball America home page
in the 3rd column from left. For now, click the link below to gain access.
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.
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.
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 is not listed on the current year's list. If a manager feels a player does not deserve to be on the current all-star restricted list because of a previous year's merits, he/she may petition the league in writing to have that player released from the list. A legitimate reason to have a player released from the all-star restricted list would be poor production by that player in any year following their being named an all-star. Regardless of production, once all-star status is achieved, a player will remain such unless petitioned otherwise and released.
The all-star/restricted list is a reasonable representation of upper echelon talent in Softball America. It was produced in the name of fairness. Its primary objective, in conjunction with the all-star/eddie rule, is to govern the balance of power in all coed leagues.
