League Teams vs Select Teams

 As many of you are aware we at Pony have received a number of complaints that travel select, or select teams as they are more commonly referred to, have been allowed to play in league All Stars.  Some of you may have heard a rumor that Pony not only has allowed this, but is actually encouraging it.  This could not be farther from the truth.  Pony takes this issue very seriously.  We at Pony know that league All Star tournaments are an important place where league teams compete.  This is why Pony elected to create the Travel Select program in the first place.  This is Pony’s attempt to send these select teams to another division inside of Pony to compete.  By doing this it will help keep league All Star tournaments with only league teams competing in it.   

Pony has attempted in the past to differentiate between league and select teams.  This has always been met with resistance due to the fact there has never been a rule in Pony Softball that defined what a league team vs a select travel team is. After doing some research we discovered there is a current rule that allows the Zone Director to establish rules to determine whether a team is eligible for tournament play under league or travel/ select. 

Below is the link for the memo from both Debbie Falcon and Ed Sanchez who are the Pony South Zone Division Director’s for Softball.  In this memo you will see that Pony is outlining how this issue will be addressed going forward.  Also in the memo is the list of criteria that the Zone Directors will use to make that determination. It is our hope at Pony that leagues will abide by the list of criteria to help us keep select/ travel select teams out of league All Stars.
