Hall of Fame Criteria
Wall of Honor - Hall of Fame Criteria & Process - updated 11.2019
HALL OF FAME CANDIDATES AND COMMITTEE
Overall softball prowess may have little to do with a member being considered for induction into the Hall of Fame. To be considered, a member must be a:
- Member in good standing in the Softball Club for a minimum of (5) five years
- Must be a major contributor to the success of the Club during the minimum (5)
Five- year period. Examples: Board Member, Commissioner, Committee head, etc.
- Member with strong ethics in character, leadership and someone who is respected and Admired and who in turn shows respect to others.
The number of members for induction consideration in a given year rule of thumb:
The HOF has been in existence since 2012. During the period between 2012 and 2015, there have been between 2 to 5 inductees in an effort to catch up. Beginning in 2020 and going forward there will be no numerical requirement as to the number of inductees per any given year, but it is hoped that the accomplishments and service of a single individual will rise above the level of other nominees for induction into the Hall of Fame.
Consideration for the Hall of Fame Honor
The Wall of Honor/Hall of Fame members (made up of living Hall of Fame inductees) may nominate potential candidates. Potential candidates may also be brought forward to the HOF Committee by any club member submitting a nomination form by March 31th of each year. Softball Club Board members are not eligible for nomination while serving on the Softball Club Board.
Recommendations for a potential inductee(s) will be submitted by the HOF committee to the SCG Softball Club Board by the 3rd Friday in April of each year.
