Men's League All-Star Cap List/All Players/Current Status

All-Star/Core Rule
This rule applies to men's leagues only. It does not apply to Open leagues. A men's league team playing with 5 or fewer all-stars will not be affected by the All-Star/Core Rule. A men's league team playing 6 all-stars must have in the line-up at all times not less than 5 core players. A men's league team playing 7 all-stars must have in the line-up at all times not less than 6 core players. A men's league team playing 8 all-stars must have in the line-up at all times not less than 7 core players. For each core player below the minimum, the defaulting team’s opponent will start the game with a 3-run lead. Examples: Your team shows up with 7 all-stars and only 4 core players. With 7 all-stars, 6 core players are needed, but you only have 4. The 2 missing core players would equate to 6 runs (2x3) given to your opponent to start the game. If your team shows up with 6 all-stars and only 4 core players, the one missing core player would equate to 3 runs (1x3) given to your opponent to start the game. In the event a core player on a team playing 6 or more all-stars has to leave the game at any time and for any reason (injury, ejection), the team will be in default and must give the opposing team 3 runs at the point of the default. It shall be the sole responsibility of the acting team manager to ensure his team is legal and to notify the scorekeeper if his team is not legal. Teams found in default of the All-Star/Core Rule will be subject to game forfeit if a grievance is lodged with the league before the offending team's next game.

All-Star Cap List
The men’s league all-star list is a compilation of men’s league players since 2011 whose offensive production has placed them in the upper echelon of players in the men's leagues. This list is used as a guide for the men’s league all-star cap. The size of the men's league all-star list will be directly proportionate to the total number of players playing in the men's leagues.

Men's league all-star status is determined by statistical formula based on offensive production only. The formula is based on RUNC (runs created) divided by G (games played). A minimum of 36 SBA at-bats (including walks) during any softball year is needed to qualify for all-star list consideration.

Any player listed, with the exception of players shaded in green, shall be considered an all-star for the current or upcoming men's softball year. A player that has never played in any Softball America league may enter any men's 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 this year based on last year's merits. If a player on any all-star list is there as a result of his efforts in a year prior to last year, a manager may petition the league in writing to have that player released from the list providing that player qualified last year (36 ABs, including walks) but failed to achieve all-star status. In essence, a player must prove he does 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. Once all-star status is achieved, the all-star will remain such unless formally petitioned for and granted a release.
