Anyone interested in a HOF voting committee?

koohead · 02-05-2008, 12:33 PM

Noticed a few posts lately regarding whether or not someone is HOF worthy and I thought to myself how cool would it be if we formalized the process? meaning we would have x people sign up and commit to being part of a committee (kinda like the BBWAA) and then have a process for OOTP players to submit players to be considered for HOF induction into their respective halls. Given that each universe is unique and stats may not correlate from one league to another, we'll have to decide on criteria that needs to be submitted with each player. Possible ideas would include measurements such as HOF Monitor, HOF Standard, Black/Gray Ink Scores, VORP, League averages (for certain stats), and anything else the committee decides on. Then if 75% or more of this committee agrees on a player, then he should be inducted into that leagues HOF.

Obviously there are lots of details to work out but thought this would be a fun way to solve the HOF issue. Thoughts? Comments?

Man, I was obviously one of the people that was trying to get people's feedback on some players from my league. I think this is a brilliant idea!!!

Good idea but it might take more than one committee if a lot of people use it.
