Jasmin Ouschan for Hall Of Fame Thread
- Thread starter justnum
- Start date
What are the requirements?
Dunno.
She has to be eligible to be considered and I don't know what is required to be a candidate.
To get in the runnings the USBMA members have to be inspired. Usually Bob and some others post about Hall of Fame decisions.
Jasmin has had a steady and never ending career since she was a junior. At world events none have the golds Jasmin does. Jasmin competes more internationally than past women pros.
Hoping for 2023, vote Jasmin.
The USBMA is dedicated to elevating the visibility and status of billiards in the media at large.
Among the association’s functions is the electing of billiard media members to the
Billiard Congress of America’s Hall of Fame Board for the purpose of nominating and
electing players and notable figures to the BCA Hall of Fame.

If you want to lick her shoes, go ahead and lick her shoes. She is a lovely human.
The only thing you posted that could be construed as responding to the requirements question is she has to be inspired? Wtf?
Go hug a tree. Inspiration only gets one so far...
Billiard Congress of America has their own Hall of Fame
The Greatest Player category shall be reserved for outstanding players who have been active in national or international competition for at least 20 years and have won at least one national or international championship. The Meritorious Service category shall be reserved for those who have made lasting, memorable and important contributions to billiards.
For women the rules should be different. Lets have that talk on a different thread.

You are right BCA and USBMA do not list the requirements clearly on their sites.
If Matchroom makes their own Hall of Fame, it will likely be better than how the Americans did it.
What did the trees do to hurt you man that you would wish that upon them

The WPBA has their own Hall of Fame.

However it is unclear why there is no annual election or confirmation process. As for the thumbnail pic, its Jasmin on the link.

If you don't know how strong the fields over which Jasmin frequently prevailed were, you need to take a closer look. If you do, then let's just say we strongly disagree.
She competed and won on three continents and won many WPBA titles when ten current/future BCA Hall of Famers were found in every field (Allison Fisher, Kelly Fisher, Karen Corr, Jeanette Lee, Gerda Hofstatter, Belinda Calhoun, Loree Jon Jones, Ewa Mayaya Laurance, Robin Dodson, Ga Young Kim), not to mention super-strong pros like Monica Webb, Xiaoting Pan, Vivian Villareal and Helena Thornfeldt, all of whom were ranked in the WPBA top three during their fine careers.
Jasmin was also the best straight pooler among women in European history. In that she regularly competed in the top men's events and had numerous top ten finishes, Jasmin was Europe's answer to Karen Corr.
She has been an enduring credit to the game and a good role model for women in pool. She has not only done enough, but more than enough and I'd be astonished if she's not found in the BCA Hall of Fame one day.
When she turns 40, she’ll be up for consideration. The BCA and USBMA have inducted many of the greatest female players in the game. I think Jasmine will make it into the WPBA Hall of Fame. And she has a chance for the BCA Hall of Fame. But there a lot of worthy players in her age range coming up (SVB, Ga Young Kim) or still on the ballot that are HoF worthy (e.g. Niels Feijen, Corey Deuel, Vivian Villareal). So the ballot will be full of players on which the committee will be detrmining their votes.

Nah, equality. Women should be rated on the requirements of men equally. Their should be no special merit just because she's a woman.
