Nomination Requirements
Nominations can be made by anyone who submits a nomination form. Forms are available upon request from the Committee or on line at the Hall Of Fame Website or the BSL Website.
*Any 10 year member of the BSL, whether living or deceased, can be nominated. Less than 10 years in the BSL will be considered if there are extenuating circumstances.
*The nominee should have made a significant contribution to the BSL (as a player, coach, sponsor, league officer, non player status, donor, friend of the BSL, etc.).
*BSL members who have been inducted into the NAGAAA Hall of Fame , through a BSL nomination, are automatically inducted into the BSL Hall of Fame.
*All nominations will be considered on a case by case basis.
Nomination 'tips'
*The Hall Of Fame Committee reviews many nominations before consideration and voting to elect candidates. Members are not always aware of a candidate's contributions to the BSL. The best revelations of these details come from the nominees themselves. Although it is an honor to be elected into the Hall Of Fame, it is also an honor to be nominated. There is no need to keep secret from a nominee that he/she has been nominated. A person is nominated because they are truly deserving of the honor of induction. The person nominating someone must certainly feel this confidence before proceeding with the nomination.
*The Hall Of Fame Committee strongly suggests that the nominee be told of his/her nomination intention. This way, the nominee can be prepared to offer details of their BSL career to the person nominating them. The HOF Committee suggests that the nominator interview the nominee to extract information and gain insight into the contributions of the candidate. This will greatly help the HOF Committee when reviewing the nomination.
*It is also suggested that the nominee and nominator provide their contact information so that the Committee can call upon them when questions arise during the review process.
*Initially, it is suggested that the "Player Profile" form be used by both the nominator and the nominee. This form makes it easy to recall personal history during the nominees BSL career. This form is available on line at the HOF website and on the BSL website.
*Nominators and nominees are welcome to meet with the HOF Committee or any of its members to discuss their nomination and any information related to it. This can be done formally or informally.
*The bottom line of the whole process is "the more information-the better"!
