Beginning today, fans can cast their votes here daily for their top 20 players to participate in the inaugural All-Star weekend. Players not currently on the list are still eligible to be selected, so fans can enter the name of a player not on the list to be considered. 

This list is complied of each team’s top picks for All-Star contenders. The top 20 players, along with 10 alternates will be revealed in early March. 

All seven NBL Canada Head Coaches will then choose a Captain for each team. Captains will be responsible for selecting their teams through a Fantasy draft, alternating their selections from the top 20 pool. 

Each team will consist of ten players and include a minimum of 3 Canadians. To ensure there is representation from all markets, Captains will need to choose a minimum of 1 player from each team and a maximum of 3 players from their respective regular season teams.
