Hall of Fame Voting
January 2024
​
To all Officers, Directors and Hall of Fame members of the Southern Tier USBC:
​
The purpose of the Southern Tier USBC Hall of Fame, hereafter referred to as “the Hall of Fame”, is to honor members of the Southern Tier USBC, who, by their talents, whether executive, organizational or scoring ability, have aided in the further promotion of the sport of bowling within the Southern Tier USBC. The Southern Tier USBC’s Board of Directors, hereafter referred to as “the Board”, governs the Hall of Fame.
​
Induction into the Hall of Fame is in one of four of the following categories: Superior Performance, Meritorious Service, Senior Star or Special Merit. The eligibility criteria specific to each of these categories is defined in the Hall of Fame procedure.
​
A minimum of six inductees can be elected each year into the Hall of Fame, one male and one female from each category of Superior Performance, Meritorious Service and Senior Star. If an insufficient number of candidate applications are on file for any of the named categories, then no inductee will be elected from the relevant category. The Board holds the final say as to the slate of inductees presented for election into the Hall of Fame at the recommendation of the Nomination committee. One inductee may be elected from the Special Merit category only when the Board recommends the candidate and said election is done by the Board only, as stated in the Structure and Eligibility sections of the Hall of Fame procedure.
