Here are some questions (with no “right” answers) to ponder in considering whether the Player candidate merits Ultimate Hall of Fame recognition:

• Was the Player ever regarded as the best player in Ultimate?
• Was the Player the best player on their team?
• Was the Player the best player at their position?
• Was the Player the best at a particular skill (e.g., person defense, break mark throws, skying)?
• Did the Player have an impact on a number of Nationals?
• Did the Player display the Spirit of the Game by upholding the standards of sportsmanship and character contained therein?
• Was the Player a good enough player that they could continue to play regularly after passing their prime?
• Is there any evidence to suggest that the Player was significantly better or worse than is suggested by their statistics or popular perception?
• If the Player were the best player on their team, would it be likely that the team could make/win Nationals?
• What players of the candidate's era and of the current era are most comparable? How is this player better or worse than those comps? Are those comps in the Hall (or worthy of being in the Hall)?
• Was the Player a team leader or strategist whose teams seemed to outperform their abilities?
• Was the Player held in high regard by teammates and opponents alike?
• Can the history of Ultimate be written without including this Player?
