It is time for our nominations for the 15th annual One Pocket Hall of Fame ballot.
Over the last 15 years we have elected many players into the One Pocket Hall of Fame, both for One Pocket and Bank Pool and for our Lifetime Pool in Action award. Yet there are many other Banks & One Pocket greats and action legends who certainly deserve to be honored, and it is time now to turn our attention to this year's slate of deserving candidates.
You are all now invited to use this nominations thread to suggest names for our 2020 ballot, or to comment on the candidates that others have suggested. Once we have sufficient nominations then the final list of candidates will be placed into the official Hall of Fame ballot, and the voting can begin!
So, who do you like for this year’s nominees, and why should they join the legends already in the One Pocket Hall of Fame? Don’t be shy about sharing your knowledge or opinions about who belongs on this year’s ballot; this is the right time to air it out. The more we all know about the candidates, the better informed we will be when it comes time to vote, and the more unified we will be in celebrating this year's inductees.
Selection criteria for the One Pocket Hall of Fame:
1. Great Players who have demonstrated their excellence in tournament competition over time.
2. After Hours Legends who have demonstrated their excellence and their heart by matching up against the best of their time.
3. Teachers and Promoters of the game who have had a lasting impact on the growth and popularity of One Pocket & Banks.
Please note that players do not have to be 'tournament winners' to qualify for the One Pocket Hall of Fame – action guys are a huge part of the legacy of both One Pocket & Banks. Likewise, people that have had more of an impact as teachers and promoters of these games are clearly invited too.
The 15th annual One Pocket Hall of Fame dinner is already scheduled for Wednesday, May 20th, the evening prior to Buffalo's One Pocket major annual One Pocket tournament. Over the years the One Pocket HOF dinner has been a fantastic event with a very entertaining cast of characters. Besides the current inductees and their families and friends, all the previous inductees are also invited, and the crowd becomes a veritable who’s who of pool action over the last 50 years. Make your reservations early because there is limited room!
