ArmchairGM Snooker Hall of Fame Voting - With Help to Allow Everyone to Vote

7
Vote

by user Alex Holowczak

With the recent US Sports voting, here comes a British HOF. Now, I understand that none of you know about snooker. Yet all the players have player profiles. This has the added advantage of it being the best players regardless of position (it's an individual name).

Instead of saying that the top x number of people get in, I only say that the numbers 1-10 from people's nominations will go into snooker's HOF directly and a those ten will go into a seperate yes or no ballot later on to get into the main thing. This will occur when we get the technology, which in my understanding is a long time distant.

Now, back to the problem that you probably don't know much about snooker...

There are a huge list of players (about 100) that have player profiles on this site, and they can all be found at the link below. There is also a page documenting every major tournament final in the sport's history. That will allow comparison between the players, but I think you should also look at the player profile's to learn more about the personality of the player too (which IMO, should be taken into account). The finals' page should just be used as a starting point, i.e. if you see names recurring.

So, it will take a lot of effort to vote here, which I realise may reduce voting numbers, but there isn't much I can do about that. I'll vote myself, and get as many of my British friends as possible to vote. So if you don't know too well who everyone is, you should get a fair indication by looking at everyone elses votes.

Sources of Information

  • 2006 Snooker World Rankings - the current snooker World Rankings
  • Snooker Statistics - The page with every major final and score on EVER
  • Category:Snooker Players - The category containing all the snooker players
  • Category:worldsnooker.com Hall of Fame - Worldsnookers version, this is not yet complete on the Website, and I have only included a few of the players here.
  • An Idiot's Guide to Snooker - Have a read if you don't know what snooker is.
  • User:Alex Holowczak - If you have any questions, leave them on my talk page, and I'll answer them for you. (My talk page is here)

Note I also have the players nationality next to their name, I did this to avoid name clashes, so sorry about that, but it's quite easy when you get the idea.

Voting is just like you would for an AGMVC article, with the three equals followed by three tildas followed by three equals. Then just hit hash for every number.

I don't get why Ken Doherty is doing so well! Look at John Pulman's record in comparison. I feel sorry for Pulman - an 8 time World Champion and the man that kept snooker alive when he dominated the 60s. Doherty hasn't dominated in the way Pulman did. Even if Pulman only had two or three other players to dominate (who were more focused on billiards).

Kev, From Oz,

whom is the ONE GUY, that, can(& did) make all the above top "9's" look silly......(he is there, in the listings, and has made all the top picks/ranked players, LOOK 2nd rate, and it IS, Ronnie O'Sullivan....... old Masters, and the "new boys" on the block have all succunmbed to the WIZARDARY/Perfection that is O'Sullivan....This guy is "Naturally", light years ahead of everyone,even Hendry,(WHY i SAY THAT IS,Lets have a fair playing field, and strike everyone else down with Bi-Polar), IF not for the Depression/anxiety he(Ron) suffers, we would of seen him surpass everyone in the record books....alas Mental Illness knows no Favorites, and affects even TRUE Genius, and brings them "back to" just mere mortals!!!!!

God Help everyone, if it ever Dissapeared from his life....Even EFRON REYES would be panicking, when Ron ATTACKS the Pool world.
