These All Star Nominations are regarded as one of the most prestigious awards as they are voted on by peers.
This team was voted on by all current members on the 8 CFL Member Clubs as well as all positional coaches for each Club. This year we received over 420 ballots that determined the 2008 winners.
Each year the Players’ Association distributes ballots to all the player and coaches of the C.F.L. The players and coaches make their selections and return the ballots to the P.A. where the votes are tallied. Only players who have PLAYED 12 or more games during the season are eligible. Players and Coaches MAY NOT VOTE for any player or coach that is a member of their own team.
The voting is conducted in a unique manner. The players may only vote for the All Stars in the positions they go head to head with since they can best judge the abilities and skills of these players. For example, Wide Receivers and Slot Backs are voted for by Defensive Backs & Secondary Coaches. All Players and Coaches may vote for the Head Coach and Special Teams Player.
