The ballot will include 24 Players for elections #50 thru 56. So, in this thread we will determine the 14 players who will be added to the ballot, along with the ten carryovers, for the 51st election. Basically, someone nominates a player for inclusion on the ballot, and two other people need to support the nomination for the player to make the ballot. When we get our fourteen guys the nominations are closed for this round. Someone then will start the Voting thread where we will rank the 24 players.
You should limit yourself to only three Nomination + support votes in a calendar day. To be clear, this does not mean that if you Nominate three players at 11:59 pm that you can then make three more votes two minutes later at 12:01 am. After your third vote in a day wait at least six hours or until midnight ET, whichever comes later. We want to encourage participation from different BBF members.
It is helpful if someone can post an update after every couple of ballots, as it can be difficult to see the current nominating status of every player. I will try to keep an updated list of the ballot in this post.
This thread is also for discussion of the players. However, discussion should be in a separate post from your nominate/support votes. But don’t take this too strictly; a brief comment along with your nominate/support vote is fine.
Please post any questions concerning this project in the Proposal thread. Thanks for playing!
