CLASS OF 2013 NOMINATIONS PROCESS
GENERAL RULES AND GUIDELINES
The Board of Directors of the Atlanta Sports Hall of Fame has the responsibility for selection of inductees into the Atlanta Sports Hall of Fame. The Board has adopted a policy whereby they will determine the number of inductees per year at their annual Board Meeting. For the Class of 2013, the Board has determined that the Hall of Fame will induct no more than five inductees.
Nominees must be from the Atlanta area at the time of their prominence, or be a person native to the Atlanta area who has made a noteworthy contribution to sports or who otherwise has been closely identified with sports in the Atlanta area. If alive, nominees must be present at the Induction Ceremony to be inducted. (This can be waived by majority vote of the Selections and Nominations Committee if needed for extreme situations such as health reasons.) No more than two nominees from any one sport or activity can be inducted in the same year, unless they are nominated as a team. All nominees will go through a multi-tiered screening process.
In order to assure fair, impartial and quality representation in the Hall of Fame, the Board has adopted the following policies governing Eligibility, Nominations, and Selection of Hall of Fame members.
