2013 Tournament Team (All Star) Guide Redmond West Little League 2013 Tournament Team (All Star) Guide 1 Redmond West Little League Introduction Hello, Redmond West Little League families! We have begun accepting Statements of Player Commitment from those players who wish to be considered for selection to a RWLL Tournament Team (a.k.a. All Stars). As the Player Agent for Majors/Minors Baseball, I wanted to take the opportunity to explain how the process works and answer some frequently asked questions, both for the benefit of families new to our league and as a refresher to the more seasoned veterans. Background Until 2011, the managers of the applicable divisions were 100% responsible for selecting the players of RWLL Tournament Teams. The players themselves had very little input as to who was selected. There were complaints of back-room deals, favoritism, politics, maneuvering, and a lack of “democracy” in not letting the players have much say. When we looked at the successes and challenges found in neighboring leagues’ All Star team formation processes, we found that other leagues with systems similar to ours routinely faced similar complaints about lack of transparency. A change was in order. So in 2011, the RWLL Board decided to change our Tournament Team formation rules to give managers and players each approximately equal weight in deciding who makes the teams, with managers effectively having “tiebreaker” authority to round out rosters from among those players that were top vote-getters from at least one of the balloting groups (either the managers or the players). This is how it works: Teams There are three tournament teams to form – 12U, 11U, and 10U. The 12U team is comprised primarily of 12 year olds playing Majors. The 11U team is comprised primarily of 11 year olds playing Majors; 11s in Coast are also eligible. The 10U team is comprised primarily of 10 year olds playing Coast or Majors. 2013 Tournament Team (All Star) Guide 2 Redmond West Little League Player Voting Majors players of any age are eligible to vote a 12U ballot, and on that ballot each player is entitled to vote for up to 12 players that he considers to be the top players of that age. Majors players of any age are eligible to vote a 11U ballot, and on that ballot each player is entitled to vote for up to 12 players that he considers to be the top players of that age. Coast players of any age, and 10 year olds playing Majors, are eligible to vote a 10U ballot, and on that ballot each player is entitled to vote for up to 12 players that he considers to be the top players of that age. From the ballots collected, the Player Votes are tabulated, and a Players Top 11 list is determined, consisting of the top 11 vote-getters. Manager Voting Majors managers are entitled to vote a 12U and 11U ballot. On each of those ballots, the manager must vote for exactly 12 players. Coast managers are entitled to vote a 10U ballot. On that ballot, the manager must vote for exactly 12 players. From the ballots collected, the Manager Votes are tabulated, and a Managers Top 11 list is determined, consisting of the top 11 vote-getters. Team Size The Majors managers determine the team roster size of the 12U and 11U tournament teams, at least 12 and possibly 13. The Coast managers determine the roster size of the 10U team, also generally 12 or 13. Final Player Selection The Players Top 11 list and the Managers Top 11 list are compared. Vote-getters who appear on both the Players Top 11 and the Managers Top 11 are automatically selected to the tournament team of the applicable age. To fill out the remainder of the roster of the applicable tournament team, the appropriate-division managers will vote individual players onto the team from among the limited pool of players who appeared on either the Players Top 11 or the Managers Top 11. 2013 Tournament Team (All Star) Guide 3 Redmond West Little League Illustration: Let’s assume, first, that for the 12U team, the Majors managers determine that the roster size will be 12 players. Based on the Player Voting, the Players Top 11 list is: 1. Bugs Bunny, 18 votes 2. Daffy Duck, 16 votes 3. Tom Cat, 15 votes 4. Jerry Mouse, 12 votes 5. Road Runner, 12 votes 6. Yosemite Sam, 11 votes 7. Wile E. Coyote, 10 votes 8. Tweety Bird, 10 votes 9. Sylvester Cat, 9 votes 10. Foghorn Leghorn, 8 votes 11. Elmer Fudd, 8 votes Tasmanian Devil, 7 votes Michigan J. Frog, 6 votes Butch Dog, 5 votes Marvin Martian, 4 votes Based on Manager Voting, the Managers Top 11 list is: 1. Daffy Duck, 6 votes 2. Bugs Bunny, 5 votes 3. Tom Cat, 5 votes 4. Jerry Mouse, 5 votes 5. Elmer Fudd, 5 votes 6. Marvin Martian, 4 votes 7. Michigan J. Frog, 4 votes 8. Tweety Bird, 4 votes 9. Sylvester Cat, 4 votes 10. Foghorn Leghorn, 4 votes 11. Tasmanian Devil, 4 votes Yosemite Sam, 3 votes Wile E. Coyote, 3 votes Road Runner, 3 votes Butch Dog, 2 votes Comparing the Players Top 11 and Managers Top 11, the following players appear on both lists and are automatically selected to the 12U team: 2013 Tournament Team (All Star) Guide 4 Redmond West Little League 1. Bugs Bunny 2. Daffy Duck 3. Tom Cat 4. Jerry Mouse 5. Elmer Fudd 6. Sylvester Cat 7. Foghorn Leghorn 8. Tweety Bird That’s eight (8) players. Because the 12U team roster size is 12, there are four (4) slots needing to be filled (the “Remaining Slots”). The pool of eligible players to be selected (with the reason they are eligible) to fill the Remaining Slots is as follows: Road Runner (Players Top 11) Yosemite Sam (Players Top 11) Marvin Martian (Managers Top 11) Tasmanian Devil (Managers Top 11) Wile E. Coyote (Players Top 11) Michigan J. Frog (Managers Top 11) Beginning with Remaining Slot #1, the Majors managers vote from among the six players listed in the eligible pool to fill the slot. The process is repeated for Remaining Slots #2, #3, and #4, until the roster is filled. Tournament Team Manager Selection A Tournament Team Committee consisting of the President, the Vice President of Majors/Minors Baseball, the Player Agent, the Chief Umpire, and two “at large” Board members, will select each tournament team manager from among 2013 rostered RWLL managers and coaches who have submitted an application. All persons who managed or coached a Redmond West Majors/Minors team will have the opportunity to apply to manage a tournament team. The Tournament Team Committee reviews applications and conducts an interview of each candidate, and considers all relevant qualifications and experience in selecting the tournament team manager. 2013 Tournament Team (All Star) Guide 5 Redmond West Little League Frequently Asked Questions 1. “How do I apply for All Stars?” Complete and submit the online Statement of Player Commitment with your parents on or before May 24, 2013. 2. “My kid is one of the best 9 year olds in AAA. Can he play All Stars?” AAA players are not eligible to vote for tournament teams, and are not eligible to be selected to a tournament team. AAA teams participate in the Redmond City Tournament, which we consider an excellent introduction to competitive tournament play for 10s, 9s, and 8s currently playing AAA. 3. “What if my player is 11 and is eligible for two tournament teams?” If a player is eligible for and selected to more than one tournament team per the process described above (e.g., an 11 year old Majors player selected to both the 12U and 11U team), the managers will confer and decide which tournament team the player will be assigned to. 4. “Some guys on my team played for the Steel Lions select team in the winter and spring, and one of them told me I was probably not going to make All Stars because I didn’t play for the Steel Lions. Is he right?” Participation in any non-Little League affiliated team, whether a “select” team, a “tournament” team, or by any other name, does not guarantee or give any priority to that player over other Little League players in the tournament team selection process. There is no “pre-selection” of All-Stars, period. Any representations to the contrary – by players, parents, or coaches – are false and should be reported to the Player Agent or the VP of Majors/Minors Baseball. 5. “When are teams announced?” The 10U team will be announced on www.redwestll.org at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, June 8, 2013. The 11U and 12U teams will be announced on www.redwestll.org at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, June 15, 2013. 2013 Tournament Team (All Star) Guide 6 Redmond West Little League 6. “If my player is selected for All Stars, will there be some kind of tournament he has to play in before the District 9 Tournament?” Yes. All players who submit Statement of Player Commitment should be prepared to practice and/or play in a preparatory tournament on the very first weekend after the announcement of the team roster is made. For the 10U team, the first day of tournament team practice, and/or possible tournament play, will be Saturday, June 8, 2013. For the 11U and 12U teams, the first day of tournament team practice, and/or possible tournament play, will be Saturday, June 15. 7. “We have a prior commitment every Tuesday evening and always go on a trip the third week of June.

  • Biographical Elements in the Animated Cartoon Tom and Jerry
    Lapis Lazuli -An International Literary Journal (LLILJ) Vol.2/ NO.2/Autumn 2012 (Auto)/Biographical elements in the Animated Cartoon Tom and Jerry Aju Aravind ______________________________________________________________________________ “A large part of any book is written not by its author but by the world its author lives in” and a large part of a text is determined by the age, gender and the socio-cultural background of its creator (Hollindale, 23). For instance, it is suggested that Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster’s, Superman is a Jew. This question ofcourse is open to debate. It is interesting to note that Superman was created by two Jewish men in “Depression-era Cleveland,” at a time and place that stood between earlier periods of immigration and the impending Holocaust (Horn,42). In the two volume graphic novel Maus, Art Spiegelman narrates the story of his parents and their experiences during the Holocaust. The elimination of true parents, especially the mother, from the comics has a great personal meaning for Disney, as is evident from his animated cartoons like Bambi, Snow White, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Dumbo (Dorfman, 225). Similarly, the Italian influence of Tom and Jerry, reminds us of the Italian origin of Joseph Barbera. There are also other arguable references in the Tom and Jerry series that hint at the life and relations of its creators—the directors William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, and the producer Fred Quimby. There was no doubt about the future of the cat and the mouse, as they had already gained a place for themselves in the hearts of millions of people, especially children around the globe.

    Spike Bulldog - Tom and Jerryvisited Wiki on 5/21/2015 Page 1 of 3 Submit Query Sign in Start a wikia Spike Bulldog Spike Bulldog For other uses, see the disambiguation page for Spike. Spike is a grey bulldog that appears in many episodes of Tom and Jerry. He is a friend of Jerry and a rival of Tom, however, sometimes he is a rival of both like the episode Dog Trouble. He hates Tom because in the episodes that Spike appears, fights Tom is chasing Jerry around but ends up giving Spike or his son, Tyke, a bad day. Obviously, whenever Spike tells Tom not to do a certain thing (ex. dirtying Tyke), Jerry does his best to get Tom in trouble (in the example, Jerry would get Tyke as dirty as possible). Tom Cat's son is his foe and hero. Spike also appeared in some of the recent cartoons featuring a basset hound called Droopy, another popular MGM cartoon character. He's also in Tom and Jerry Tales. He appeared in most episodes, in "Catfish Follies", he is a dogfish and also in "Zent Out of Shape" where he is similar to Godzilla. He also beats Jerry occasionally this probably that Spike finally notices it was Jerry who was actually really responsible for bothering his son, stealing his bones and getting disturbed and injured that Jerry caused on him and messing up his son. You can also see Spike in Mickey Mouse, but as Butch the Bulldog. Contents Appearance Spike has grey skin, a red dog leash and a anchored tatoo on his left upper arm as seen in "Quiet Please!".

  • Animating Race
    Chapter 4 Animating Racism In February 1940, cartoon gurus William Hanna and Joseph Barbera intro- duced one of the most famous duos in animation history. In “Puss Gets the Boot,” the world met Tom Cat and Jerry Mouse for the first time.1 Known as Jasper and Jinx in the premiere episode, generations of children sub- sequently grew to know these characters as Tom and Jerry. The Tom and Jerry series became a national, and global, phenomenon, with hundreds of shorts, myriad series spinoffs, and nearly a dozen full-length feature films produced in the half century after its premiere. In that very first short in 1940, audiences also saw for the first time an unnamed character. She was a large, dark-skinned black woman who spoke in a vernacular dialect that was overlaid with a thick southern accent. That unnamed character also wore brightly colored clothing and was usually only visible from the waist down. This unnamed character became known as “Mammy Two Shoes,” a “galumphing black domestic.”2 Mammy Two Shoes was typically seen only from the waist down, was buffoonish in nature, and was, in essence, an ani- mated version of a black-blackface representation of the popular Mammy archetype.3 It has become cliché to note that the “golden age” of cartoon produc- tion between the 1920s and late 1960s, so characterized because of the addition of sound to animation, also produced the most racist and sexist depictions of people of color in cartoon history. Mammy Two Shoes was a product of this golden age. She was joined by a host of other racialized and racist characters, some of whom existed during the silent era and received new life with the advent of sound.
