Abstract: Up to 1995, all-star selection in the Ontario-Quebec Intercollegiate Football Conference was accomplished with a head coaches' meeting that took up most of the Sunday before the conference semifinal play-off games. There were two difficulties with this system. First, coaches involved in the play-off games the next Saturday lost a day of game planning. Second, there were assistant coaches who felt this “horse-trading” session was not very objective. The implementation of a Borda voting scheme solves both these problems.
