We always seem to have problems with running an all-star game. The idea itself is great, the logistics are horrible.
Voting is a mess, because we won`t get anywhere near complete participation (even from a coaches-only vote) so the results are skewed.
Almost half of the starters voted in can`t or will not show for the game. We wind up with two teams of whoever can show, not players voted in.
If something came up, a player is more likely to just bail on an all-star game than a team game - after all who will notice? who will care? what are the reprecussions?
As it is our resources for field space are stretched. This game would require a single day after the season ends.
Finally, at the end of the season - we (myself and Rob) are ready for a break until the summer tournaments and Fall Leagues.
Last year I advised teams that I could get the field space and officials for it, if two coaches wanted to organize it themselves.
