DEADLINE TO SUBMIT YOUR LIST IS OCTOBER 1. THIS MAY BE EXTENDED, BUT DON'T COUNT ON IT
- Eligibility
- Any person who spent the majority of his career playing as a goaltender is eligible
- Players will be judged only on their accomplishments as hockey players
- A player's accomplishments at his secondary position may be taken into account; it is up to the list maker to determine how to evaluate such players (probably not really applicable to goalies)
- Players currently active are eligible, but should be ranked based on what they already did
- Preliminary Discussion Thread
- Anyone may participate in this thread, even if he does not plan on taking part in the voting phase
- Any goaltender may be discussed
- Posters are encouraged to share information about goaltenders in this thread and to take information shared into account when constructing their own lists
- Brief comparisons between players are permitted, but detailed cases and debates should be saved for Round 2 of Voting.
- Please do NOT rank players outright in the preliminary thread.
- Voting
- Round 1
- All participants submit a list of 60 goaltenders ranked in order
- All eras MUST be considered, and consideration should be given to both NHL and non-NHL players
- To make it easier to aggregate the submitted lists, please list players using their most commonly used name; e.g. Terry Sawchuk, not Terrance Gordon Sawchuk; Gump Worsley, not Lorne Worsley.
- Lists may be submitted via email to [email protected] or via PM to me. Excel format is preferred, but a top to bottom list of 60 is fine too.
- Deadline to submit lists is Oct 1. Please PM me if you can't make the deadline and would like to participate.
- Players will be assigned a point value on the list based on ranking
- Players will be awarded 60 points for a 1st place vote down to 1 point for a 60th place vote
- An aggregate list of the top goaltenders will be compiled ranking them in order of the most total points
- Participants MUST submit a list in Round 1 to be eligible for Round 2
- Round 2
- The top 8 ranked players from the aggregate list will be posted in a thread
- Players will be listed in alphabetical order to avoid creating bias
- Player merits and rankings will be open for discussion and debate for a period of five (5) days. Administrators may extend the discussion period if it remains active.
- Final voting will occur for two (2) days, by email.
- Top 4 players will be added to the list
- Final results will be posted and the process repeated for the next 4 places with remaining players until a list of 40 goaltenders is obtained
- The number of players available for discussion at once may increase from 8 as we move down the list, depending on the closeness of the aggregate list put together in Round 1
- Round 1
- Quality Assurance
- Lists will be subject to an evaluation process
- The submitter of a questionable list will be given an opportunity to defend or justify any selection under question or to correct errors and resubmit.
