In 2010, the Fantasy Sports Writers Association established a Hall of Fame as a way to recognize those fantasy sports publishers, editors and writers who possess a distinguished body of work and/or those who have helped to advance the careers of others in the fantasy sports industry. To be eligible, candidates must have a minimum of 10 years of service in the fantasy editorial field, and must complete the online nomination form. If a candidate chooses not to complete the form, someone else can complete it on his/her behalf. The form includes a number of general entry fields, a bio and letters of support (one is required, a second letter is optional).
About the process: After the submission period, the nomination forms are reviewed by a selectio n committee. In the first phase, committee members select 15 names from the pool of nominees. The top scoring 15 nominees then move on to the finalist round. In the second vote, committee members each choose nine names. To gain entrance to the Hall of Fame, finalists must appear on two-thirds of the votes cast.
About the selection committee: The FSWA Hall of Fame selection Committee is made up of 21 FSWA members, including the chairman. Names of committee members are kept annonymous to ensure a fair process free from outside influence. With the exception of the chairman (who is selected by the FSWA President) committee members may not be eligible for the Hall of Fame, and no more than one staff member from any site can serve on the committee. Each year, at least one third of the previous year's committee members must be replaced. There is no rule as to how many times a person can serve on the committee.
