Great idea...too bad its only a dream! Our league was divided a few years ago into North and South with about 750 kids in each one. Between our two leagues I don't think there are 5 adults who don't have a personal connection to one or more players in the league.

The idea I suggested earlier actually works if each member keeps a seperate score sheet and then notes are compared at the end of the weeklong "clinic". Amazingly the evaluators who did the scoring all had the same 12 names common to their list and differed on only two players. Each picked one of the two they chose not on the other list and the Board approved the team. As I said the coache's son didn't make it on the team and a few Board members' didn't have their child on the team. But, we did end up with a very good team this year. Time will tell if this works consistently.
