Ultimate
Hall of Fame

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 2026, that window is 2010 to 2018.  Age eligibility for 2026 is 38 for Open/Male Matching Mixed player candidates, 37 for Women’s division/Female Matching Mixed 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”. Contributor candidates are also considered with a specific area of focus; organizer, administrator, coach, and product innovator.

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 2026 Ultimate Hall of Fame selection/election process begins on April 14, 2026; check out the NEWS announcement and go to the Selections Process page for live nomination forms!
