Pete White, Director of League Statistics and Chairperson of the All Conference committee is excited to announce that all team and player statistics are updated and available on the league’s website (mcfl.org) along with the all conference selections. “Our league takes a lot of pride in our record keeping, statistics and player recognition and at times this commitment slows down the all star selection process as the league waited to finalize all of the statistics from the regular season. Our league is dedicated to maintaining the best historical records possible and we apologize for not having this information available sooner. On behalf of the league and its owners, we do take great satisfaction in recognizing the athletic achievements of our players, and we really appreciate the efforts they put forth each week on the field” remarked White. White went on to explain the process used to identify the league’s top players. The league receives player nominations by position from each team owner. This information is then consolidated into a ballot by position, and each team votes on players by position although each team is prohibited from voting on players from their team. A mathematical model identifies the highest-ranked players by position. The committee also tries to ensure that all teams are appropriately recognized and the selections are weighted based on the team’s success each year.
