Thank you for putting up a list. It should also be on your website. Still feel you should retroactively include all BCA HOF members to have a legitimate list though.
 
Good list.

In the future it's going to be hard to nominate inductees. All the "old-timers" will be in The Hall, but there aren't enough new "greats" to choose from...because there are so few 14.1 tournaments.

Sad.

I'd say if you have a verified run of 250, into the 14.1 HOF with you! Or is that too much or too little to be included? Just seemed like a good number that is high enough to be rare but low enough to be human LOL

Lots of people are in the BCA HOF for reasons unrelated to 14.1.

HOF membership should relate to competitive successes, not merely a high run.

But as bdoorman pointed out, there are very few 14.1 events now, where will you compete? All that is left are some challenge events really at DCC and such, which are basically playing the ghost.

Those challenge events usually are qualifiers for an ensuing (small-field) tournament. But it's an interesting question. Suppose someone made many real high runs (or even just one real high run, but it was 1,000 balls, say) in those challenge events, but never went on to win the related tournaments and never won any of the limited number of other strong-field 14.1 tournaments. What then? The challenge events are competitive in the sense of vying for the day's or event's high-run money, and they are competitive in the sense that only a limited number of players will qualify for the related tournament. But they are not competitive in the way that a tournament game is, where any miss may result in loss of game or even being knocked out of the event.

[I think I'd vote to include the guy who runs a thousand in a challenge event.:smile:]

[[but not if he just ran 250 once and didn't do much else in the discipline]]

I am kind of confused. So, 3 players are inducted this year....what is the group inductee things about?

Yup, Jimmie Moore. He was runner up to many times, and one that deserves HOF for 14.1. (I didn't see his name?) Consistently being runner-up to Moisconi is great in itself.

Since the World straight pool tournament was resurrected 10 years ago, 1 player has won 40% of these events. That is a decade of extreme dominance. It's unimaginable that he hasn't even been nominated, let alone hasn't been inducted yet.

He's obviously a lock to be in at some point. He's only 37. Whether they have a minimum age requirement (hard-and-fast or just "sort of"), or just want to pick up the older living guys first, I don't know.

[Edit -- As for nominations, how do we know whether someone has been nominated? Does the "published" list of nominees include everyone nominated?]

Even if someone runs 1,000, unless they have strong competitive credentials, I'd leave them out. Mike Eufemia ran over 600 and is not a BCA Hall of Famer because his competitive record isn't good enough for him to merit consideration.

Imagine what the Baseball Hall of Fame would look like if this were a logical criterion.
