This is a great weekend where teams and players put aside rivalries and enjoy a bit of fellowship.  This is NOT a senior game. It is an All-Star game.  We would love to have each team represented at the all-star game.  Regardless of your team’s record, we firmly believe each team has at least 1 all-star that could represent your organization and TAIAO well at the All-Star game.  Please be thinking about who you will be nominating.

Guidelines when nominating players…..

1. Be mindful that we don’t play each other.  Because of this we depend on stats and your honesty.  Stat’s don’t tell the complete story.  A team might have a pretty good point guard but because of the offense the team runs the stats are not there. Some teams only played a few games.  Other teams played a full slate. 
2. Each region will send 12 players to the game.
3. If you have a player that deserves to be on the team BUT will not be able to play,  nominate him/her anyways.  Let’s get him recognized.  
4. It is helpful if the players entered have their stats in MaxPreps.  

Numbers to be nominated and criteria for selection 

1. Each team may nominate up to three players.  
2. Players on teams that make the state tournament will be given preference.
3. Seniority will be taken into consideration when players are equal.
4. Only player stats in MaxPreps will be taken into consideration
5. Performance at the regional tournaments will be taken into consideration
6. Precedence will be given to Varsity over JV players.
