So today on the chat, a few of us were tossing out the idea of a ODC Hall of Fame. We've been around for a while as a league, so it could be cool to look back as an offseason activity.
For starters, we could elect the best players over the lifetime of ODC. Some have suggested that, in the same spirit as the real Hall, we vote only for retired players. However, I don't think this is the most practical solution. I think it would be more fun and make for a better Hall if we included active players (in other words, most of the top contributors from 2011-2015 are still playing).
If we had active players involved, we could come up with a ballot of around 20 players. We could have a minimum bar needed to be cleared for election (75% works) and a minimum needed to stay on the ballot (10%?). Also, we'd maybe limit the first few election classes to 2 or 3 (Forbz suggested this) in order to set a standard or sorts for election. We could have some separate ballot for owners too, given a minimum amount of time in the league or something.
I'm thinking of creating a ballot some point soon and then releasing results in March when nothing's going on. By the summer, I or someone else could make a player page for each inductee, which would be updated each year for current players.
Please let me know what you think or if you have any other ideas for this project.
