Hall of Fame
The 2025 Ultimate Hall of Fame Selection Process is complete! Check out our Announcement of the 2025 inductees in NEWS!
The Hall
In 2004, thirty-six years after the advent of the sport, The Ultimate Hall of Fame inducted its inaugural class. Each year, a new group of players, contributors, and special merit candidates who have made exceptional contributions to the sport are elected to join the Hall.
Currently, the Hall is an independent entity that works closely with everyone from national and international associations to grassroots projects in neighborhoods across the country and around the world, groups that share our commitment to the sport and to the remarkable community of people who have played it.
Please explore the website to learn more about our history, our current activities, and our future goals.

Candidate Nomination
To be inducted into the Ultimate Hall of Fame, potential player-candidates complete the following steps:
1 – Individuals, or their sponsors, submit nomination/candidate forms that detail the nominee/candidates’ competitive career that fits within a focused window of time that coincides with their peak playing years; for 2025, that window is 2008 to 2016. Age eligibility for 2025 is 39 for Open/Male Matching player candidates, 38 for Women’s division/Female Matching player candidates.
2 – Forms are then submitted for peer voting where nominees/candidates are reviewed and ranked by a group of players from their own playing era.
3 – The peer vote rankings, candidate forms, and competitive results are reviewed by the Ultimate Hall of Fame Vetting Committee; between eight to ten candidates from the Open and Women’s divisions and eight candidates in the Mixed player division are selected for that years “slate”.
4 – The final slate of candidates is then announced with a public request for comment in the Call to the Community.
5 – There are two rounds of voting to select inductees from each player division by the full voting committee, composed of eligible player and contributor members of the Ultimate Hall of Fame and the Vetting Committee. An inductee must receive an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds majority (66%) from the voters to be selected and thereafter be inducted into the Ultimate Hall of Fame.
6 – The 2025 Ultimate Hall of Fame selection/election process begins on May 1st, 2025; check out the NEWS announcement and go to the Selections Process page for live nomination forms!
