When will The Selection committee Review my film?

The FBU and UA Selection Committees will review nominations as they come in. Though there is no specific timeframe, nominations are typically reviewed within a week of submission.

When will teams be set? Is there a deadline to submit

Nomination Portals will remain open until Mid-November. There is no set date for nominations to close, nor is there a set date for team rosters to be set. However, as athletes are selected for the games, fewer spots will be available. The earlier you can submit the better, but we do accept and review nominations until Mid-November.

When will I hear back about a nomination?

Only athletes selected for the games will be contacted.

What film does the selection committee want to review?

Padded game film. We also ask that you use current season film. For example, if you are submitting a nomination for the Freshman All-American Bowl, we want to see film from the first part of your freshman year.

Can I submit multiple Nominations for the same athlete?

Yes, you may submit multiple nominations for the same athlete. However, we ask that you please allow at least one week between nominations. Please do not submit the same film with each subsequent nomination. If multiple submissions are made at the same time, we will only review the last one submitted.
