The Morris County NJ USBC Hall of Fame was established to honor those individuals who have displayed outstanding bowling achievements in the game of bowling and/or who have contributed outstanding service to the game of bowling. Election to the Morris County USBC Hall of Fame recognizes performance, accomplishments and/or service primarily achieved within the Morris County NJ USBC Association. While accomplishments at the New Jersey State USBC or other areas will factor into eligibility and election decisions, more weight is given to those occurring within the County. The Hall of Fame is governed by a Hall of Fame Committee appointed bi-annually by the Association President. He/she also appoints the chairperson of the Committee who organizes meetings and ensure the bi-annual induction process is followed. The Hall of Fame Committee has sole responsibility for the process developed and followed for candidate solicitation, evaluation and induction. The Committee also has full ownership of the Hall and final decisions on any and all inductees. There are four (4) categories for enshrinement in the Hall of Fame: Superior Performance Eligibility for election to the Hall of Fame is open to both men and women bowlers who have been sanctioned and competed at the adult level or who have served or contributed to the sport primarily within the Morris County NJ USBC Association. Eligibility is based on a set of minimum requirements and accomplishments according to the category for which a candidate is nominated. In the Superior Performance/Veteran Superior Performance/Meritorious Service categories, accomplishments are evaluated utilizing a point system specific to the category. The Industry Partner category does not utilize a point system. In all categories, a person who has passed away may still be nominated and inducted posthumously. For the Superior Performance category, specific accomplishment point values have been established for each of men and women candidacies with a total of at least 400 points required for eligibility. A specific point system has also been established for the Veteran Superior Performance category with a total of at least 300 points required for eligibility. Each point system has been designed to ensure candidates have demonstrated achievements across tournament performance, honor scores and sustained excellence in league play. For the Meritorious Service category, point values have been established based on service time spent in various Association Board positions and performing in roles such as committee chair, tournament director and lane representative. In this category, a minimum of 200 points is required for eligibility. Industry Partner nominees shall be evaluated for eligibility via a qualitative assessment of each ones contributions to our sport within Morris County NJ USBC. Qualifications and minimum requirements for each category are listed on each application, including the point values used if applicable. PROCESS FOR ELECTION/INDUCTION Applications for the Hall of Fame are made available year-round on the Morris County NJ USBC website and Facebook page and in all member bowling centers. Only completely populated applications are accepted for consideration if received by the published bi-annual deadline. Each application is reviewed for completeness and the applicable point system applied to it. The Hall of Fame Committee reviews and discusses applications that meet all eligibility requirements and determine the final list for induction via election by a majority vote of each candidate. The Hall of Fame Committee chairperson promptly notifies each inductee-elect and returns credentials to any unsuccessful candidate so they can be updated and resubmitted for future consideration. Inductees-elect are honored at the bi-annual Hall of Fame dinner. Each inductee receives a USBC Hall of Fame Certificate along with a suitable plaque. Each inductee is also enrolled in the Local Association section of the National USBC Hall of Fame in Arlington, TX. TIMELINE FOR INDUCTION YEAR Notification/Solicitation for Hall
