About
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 all 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.
Class of 2023
Our most recent slate of inductees were announced on August 28, 2023. The 2023 Class was officially inducted into the Ultimate Hall of Fame during a ceremony at the 2023 National Championships where the 2019 through 2023 inductees were celebrated and honored.
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 2024, that window is 2006 to 2014. Age eligibility for 2024 is 40 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 2024 Ultimate Hall of Fame selection/election process will be announced on or before April 29, 2024.
