ALL STAR TEAM
Each year the QJFL honors its all stars and they are announced at the QJFL awards dinner held in November. The selection process conducted only by the coaching staffs who nominate the QJFL all stars. They are asked to submit nominations immediately after the last game of the season. A team can nominate players from their own team as well as from other teams. They are requested to choose who they believe to be the best in the QJFL.
To be nominated for an all star position the player must have played at least half of the season at the nominated position. They must have paid the registration fee in full and not be under suspension by the QJFL. After the nominations are made the coaching staffs meet with the QJFL to make the final selections. Each team & the QJFL Executive have one vote for each All Star position. Teams cannot vote for their own player and the vote is by sealed ballot.The best punter and field goal kicker are not determined by a vote but by statistical performance on the field.
