All well and good. As Bob Jewett said, someone has to do a write-up and submit him for candidacy.
Only one person gets in for Meritorious when it comes up, so it’s a tough selection since there are so many that deserve to be in. Unfortunately, this year isnt the year for Meritorious Service. We alternate years. I’d love if we could do a Meritorious every year, but that has its own challenges.
It’s the Veteran Player this year.

It kind of seems that the BCA industry members vote for who benefits their collective industry sometimes.
The BCA has nothing to do with the Hall of Fame voting, they simply underwrite and provide funds for the HoF banquet each year. Like Major League Baseball, Pool & Billiards has a billiard media group (USBMA.com) that does all the voting for the HoF!
From these comments, here's the list: For Meritorious Service: Billy Incardona, Jerry Briesath, Grady Mathews, The Jansco Brothers, and I will add Bob Jewett. For Veteran Player: Kim Davenport; Greatest Player: Niels Fiejen. Is there anyone else who deserves consideration at this time?
The late Jimmy Fusco

i've been around this game since the late 1960s and i can tell you- Incardona definitely has/had the talent but never had integrity to merit the HOF. Ban me from ever posting again if you want but i will stand by my comment!
I'll go=
Meritorious : Billy Incardona
Veteran player : Kim Davenport
Case closed
Cues- a lot of people may like billy but i wonder how many of them trust him? i realize that it is Only My opinion, but to be HOF worthy should include integrity. Maybe i am by myself in this, but Billy was always about "doing business". i can think of a lot of other greats, who many on here would never recognize their names, are just as deserving based on their Game and More deserving based on their Reputation.
