A postseason committee of five members (including the manager) shall observe the evaluation and vote on the top 12 players for the team.
Electing Not to Play and/or Injuries
If a player “voted” onto the team (the top 8 vote-getters) elects not to play - the next highest vote getter from the official vote will be offered the spot on the team until the minimum number of “voted” positions are filled.
If an all-star manager’s selection elects not to play, the manager can select another player. The manager is not required to select another player unless to get to the required 12 players.
If a player leaves the team, for any reason, or is injured after the team is announced - the coach is not required to replace the player.
Any replacement player to the All-Star team, while the team is still in competition, must be done via the approved LL procedure.
Managers “must” go to the Player Agent or All-Star Committee before making any decisions on a replacement or before making any commitments to a replacement. Failing to follow the proper process could lead to disqualification from the LL tournament.
