TPWW World Sports Hall of Fame Sign Up thread
SO the local sports radio talkshow is doing this thing where they are making the "Earth Sports Fortress of Pantheon" where they have a 4 man panel make the world sports hall of fame.
I have decided to bring this to TPWW. Here is what we will do. We will sign up in this thread and form the Entrance Panel. We will then have a Candidate nomination thread where all panel members will have a chance to nominate anyone they think deserves to be in the World Sports Hall of Fame. When making a nomination, you must provide a case as to why they are worthy of entrance. We will then vote on each candidate. Candidates must receive 75 percent of the vote to become a finalist. We will then debate the finalists to fill the available slots. We will be looking for the best of the best, which will combine stats, achievements, meaning to the game (Players who broke the mold and changed their sport). Rules for Admission No more than 30 members will be inducted. No more than 5 from any one sport. Sports Eligible: (Sports with limited candidates Combined based on size of player base) Basketball Baseball Hockey American Football Soccer Football Boxing/Mixed Martial Arts Motorsports/Motorcross Cricket Golf Tennis Rugby Track and Field Cycling Swimming There must be 1 candidate from EACH sport selected into the Hall. If you want to join the panel, respond here. Applications will remain open for 5 days. |

This will not work, Rob will name a load of irrelevent Scottish footballers, Krispy will name some even more irrelevent MMA fighters and Stima and SammyG will question anybody who is not participating in either the MLB, NFL or NBA.

Just because I wouldn't know who they are doesn't mean I would question them. That's also why I don't want to participate, I won't know 75% of the people |

I know lots about Cricket, Rugby and Motorsports. Enough about everything else. Last edited by Bad Company; 01-16-2009 at 03:51 AM. |

I wasn't being entirely serious, just highlighting the fact that I dont think this will work, the range of sports is too broad and the number of sportsmen named...vast.

A good reason to do this is to learn more about other sports. I dont know shit about rugby, But Im sure I will be able to appreciate the best players ever.

Also, you might need to split up Rugby into League and Union.
