Pre-HOF Discussion Thread

[mstreeter06]

We are about to finish our 13th season as a league and are getting close to having stars from the inaugural era begin to retire. I thought we could begin to discuss how we would like the HOF voting and process be handled.

I know NPBL has a good process for their HOF and would be what I had in mind. It would take some tweaking but here is thread with the NPBL rules (http://www.npblbaseball.com/forum/index.php?board=12.0). I also think there are some great processes in the MLB HOF process as well.

I think we could discuss this over the next few seasons and have the 1st AFBL HOF Class be in 2030? Any other ideas or suggestions?

I assume you'll be using statslab for HOf voting?

The in-game voting in OOT16 also works well I beleive, so that will be in when AFBL moves to OOTP 17.

My suggestion:
1. Special criteria for the inaugural draft guys that didn't play a whole career (i.e. drafted at 26 or older) but contributed a lot to the league (think Garlez and Sepulveda et al) - hold this induction as a special induction in 2027 as a 15 year celebration

2. Then have set criteria to make players available for the ballot going forward, first HoF vote in 2030 as you mentioned

Not sure yet. I don't have any experience with either actually. In game option would be the most convenient

I love this and I have someone from my team who started his career at age 37 and is on these top 30 lists.

I do agree that there should be an inaugural clause for our first class/vote.

HOF voting is probably the best thing about V16....lets just wait till we go to v17 and use the game to vote  (or not)

[mstreeter06]

I'm definitely interested in the pros and cons of both the in-game HOF Voting and the Statslab HOF Voting process.

The In Game voting is awesome, and with that setting of only human managers vote counts it makes it really easy see who is in or out if everone votes tho
