Alright, so before everyone campaigns and votes, what is the format this year? Only one player to be inducted? Or one player, plus the deceased player with the highest vote count?NH Steve said:
Well, no, there hasn't been a deceased "category" every year. Where did you see that written? And it's an "adjustment" of the HOF that some of us would not like to see.fred bentivegna said:

I agree with all your choices, they are all deservant of induction and would be an injustice if they weren't inducted at some point. Why not now?gulfportdoc said:Well, I can't WAIT to see what's going to happen this year. Last year Parica rightfully got in. A surprise development was the induction of a player who --although he finished 4th in the voting-- was given the nod by way of an unexpected "deceased" category. Perhaps Beard is just a great campaigner.
Since there has been no mention of the "deceased" category this time around, I'm left to wonder if it will be in place this year. If so, I think it would be fair to establish it at the git-go. Here is the thread where this issue was discussed last year:

If there is a deceased category this year, I like Ervolino. Otherwise I like Clem Metz, Buddy Hall, and Allen Hopkins. I'm not sure if Metz is still alive, so that may affect his grouping. Everyone I've ever heard talk about Metz said that he was at the very top of the excellence list. His chances of induction are slim, because he's not a marquee name.
For Teachers and Promoters, I like Greg Sullivan and Eddie Robin, in that order. Granted, Eddie is something of a loose cannon, and there are a couple of guys on this forum who are not big fans of his. But he got some important books published that we all have; and would probably not have seen the light of day without him.

All of our Hall of Fame players -- Banks, One Pocket & Lifetime Pool in Action -- are listed on our Hall of Fame page; just go there and then scroll down a bit. All of them should also have their own pages, with a little background info/bio and photos -- just click on their names in the lists, they should all be active links.JAM said:I would be interested to see the list of pool players who have inducted into the OnePocket.Org's Hall of Fame for the Lifetime Action Award.

Of course there have been deceased players available for consideration every year. But I don't ever recall being alerted that there would be a living player, and also a deceased player inducted for any given year. Steve mentioned that he probably should have made that understood a little clearer for the past two elections. That's good enough for me.
I am pretty sure Clem is still living. The most amazing thing is that his mother may also be living -- last I heard she was one of the oldest residents of Ohio if not the country! Something like 108....oldspurguy said:
