2.3) An owner may vote for as few as zero (0) and as many as ten (10) eligible candidates deemed worthy of election. Write-in votes are not permitted.
2.4) For a nominee to be inducted, he must receive 2/3 of the votes cast in a given year. All OSL owners are eligible to vote each year. The voting will be held open for 14 days. At least 9 OSL owners must vote in order to achieve a quorum. Voting may be done either publicly through a thread post or privately via U2U to the Hall of Fame Coordinator.
2.5) Should a nominee fail to be elected after 6 consecutive seasons on the ballot, he will be ineligible for future consideration.
2.6) The OSL shall elect a Hall of Fame Coordinator who will serve a three-season term. The election shall be by majority vote. There are no limits on consecutive terms.

3. Nomination Process

For new (expansion) owners, and for journeyman players who played 3-4 seasons for multiple teams, ALL owners are encouraged to review the record books for All-Time accomplishments, All-Star appearances, various awards, etc. and nominate deserving individuals.
3.2) When nominating a player, include his Name, Primary Position, Team(s), career stats, All-Star appearances (including starts), awards and close finishes (2 MVPs, six total top 5), points of interest (3 WS rings, 2nd all time OPS, etc.), and anything else you think might help consideration.
3.3) A nominee will have his career statistics run through the rankings system on the Baseball Reference website. His rankings must be submitted in his nomination thread. Rankings will not disqualify any candidate from consideration, but they will provide a great tool for comparison.
4. The Hall of Fame

This is great stuff, Dunn. Your experience in the sim is invaluable, and like it or not you appear to have taken the lead here. An official acceptance speech as incoming commissioner would be nice to see.Pages: 1
