If a Manager is unable to attend, they may designate ONE of their coaches. At the start of the meeting all Managers applying should be announced. All Managers present should then write their selection on a piece of paper and enclose it in an envelope and hand it to the League President, Director or Designee. The envelopes will not be opened until the top 9 vote-getters are determined. All nominees are listed on a chalkboard, posterboard, etc. so that all present can determine players up for nomination.
Managers then get to speak briefly about their nominees.
Each manager returns a ballot of nine players. The Manager with the highest vote total will become the Manager of the team. They may be from their regular season staff or from the staff of any division team. NOW, the player ballots are tabulated and announced by the League President, Director, Designee. Three additional players are to be chosen by the voted-upon Manager to complete the roster.
