We have completed the first two years, where a Preliminary, Semi-Final and Final vote for the 1946 Class, which inducted two full classes For “1949” a Preliminary Vote with 130 players whose playing career ended by 1943. We are also following the structure in that players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool. Each voter was asked to select 25 names from the preliminary list, with the top 25 vote getters named as Semi-Finalists. A week later, the voters were asked to pick 15 names from the 25 Semi-Finalists, and next after, they will pick five from the remaining 15.
