A few days ago, Mahovlich came up with the idea of "recreating" the HHOF in a way that we, members of the HOH, would thought a little more fit. However, Mahovlich had to leave the Boards for whatever reason.
There will be many stages in the process : we're still working out the details regarding the procedure. As of now, it appears that we will work with a chronological approach, starting from 1945 (or before), with a separate committee working out on the earlier of the game. The exact procedure is still to be determined however, we need to start rounding up some people who are interested to participate in the project. Many volunteers themselves in the earlier thread, but it became somewhat tough to keep track of everyone.
First step -- Say (again) that you're interested
Second step -- Send an e-mail to [email protected]. Don't forget to mention your hfboards nickname.
I volunteered to co-run this. Ideally, we would have to be AT LEAST 3 "co-directors", just to make sure everybody "running" the project can actually cast an objective, impartial vote.
What remains to be done (this list is a work in progress)
- Find two other persons to "run" this (so I can vote
) -- DJ MAN agreed to help. Need another "trustee" (and, being 3, we're able to vote)
- Agreeing on the first voting year (likely 1940)
- Coming up with an method to cover the years earlier to that date. Hockey Outsider had a pretty interesting idea here : http://hfboards.com/showpost.php?p=28971713&postcount=242. -- DONE
- Voting procedure, for both the earlier round and process starting in 1940.
- Reaching a consensus in regards to disclosure.
RULES (WIP)
1 : Every player is eligible, as long as that players meets the eventual retiring + eventual waiting time requirement. There will be no free passes. We all have our biases - as long as we temper them. Everybody has their own way to perceive things, and that's perfectly fine. Submitting your points of view politely is a must. None of have been GM's or coaches of the candidates, but it doesn't mean we can't have our favorites. The prior Top-100 list shouldn't be regarded as a "Bible", either.
2. This said, it is a Hall of Fame - which means it's mainly about, well, fame. Player A might be better than Player B, but Player B might be worthy of an induction as well. Everybody has its own criteria -- if you think Rory Fitzpatrick is worthy, fine. This said, you'll likely be alone. No player is uneligible due to infamy -- but if you want to keep a guy out because of this, it's okay.
3 : The voting will be done, roughly, every 10 days, with some possible breaks during holidays.
4 : There might be partial or total disclosure at the end. This is something we'll have to agree on.
Note : Italics means that you have to send a e-mail. Bold means you sent an e-mail but haven't said that you're in yet on this thread.
UPDATE : 44 people have shown an interest so far (with a few that I send PM's to and that I'm expecting answers - Arrbez, pappyline, amongst others). 40 or 45 will be an ideal number (works well with 80%).
