ABOUT THE

eSFL HALL OF FAME

The eSFL Hall of Fame was founded in 2002.
It's purpose is to honor elite eSFL participants and highlight their accomplishments.
 
BOARD OF SELECTORS
With the exception of the league commissioner, all appointments are good for lifetime and can be terminated only by resignation. The commissioner appoints all board of selectors and is responsible for replacing those who no longer wish to perform such duties.

Charged with the vital task of ensuring enshrinees are the finest the league has produced is the eSFL Football Hall of Fame's 5-person Board of Selectors.

The Process

Takes place annually

Every year, after week 9 of the NFL season, the commissioner will compile a list of eligible candidates. The list will be posted on the eSFL official site AND emailed to all active owners. A poll will be created.


Owners Vote

All owners will be required to vote before setting their week 9 lineup.

Owners may vote for as many members as they wish, or vote for none.

The commissioner will provide a detailed biography of each candidate for owners to review and base their vote on.

All candidates who receive at least 5 owner votes will then be considered for enshrinement by the Board of Selectors.

Board of Selectors Vote

The Board of Selectors will carefully scrutinize candidates submitted to them by the owner vote process. Candidates must receive 100 percent approval of the board to be elected into the Hall of Fame.

The board of Selectors MAY ENSHRINE ONLY 1 PERSON EACH YEAR. If more than 1 nominee obtained the required 5 owner votes, the nominee who was not enshrined automatically is considered by the Board the following year.

Eligibility

Active eSFL members must have 7 straight seasons to be on the owners ballot.

To be on the owners ballot, retired or inactive nominees must have been so for 3 straight seasons.

Any nominee who failed to receive at least 1 owner vote will be ineligible until at least 3 years have passed.

Any nominee who failed to be enshrined after 3 owner vote attempts, will become ineligible. (See Legend Consideration below)

Legend Consideration

To assure that older non active members are considered, the commissioner, may name nominees who have failed to be enshrined, and are no longer eligible for consideration. These nominees will be considered at the same time as the annual owners approved list.

Andrew Robinson
Owner / Coach
ROBINSON WAGONEERS  ------  2000-03
*First eSFL participant to win 2 Ballistic Bowls (2000, 2001)
*First eSFL participant to win BACK TO BACK Ballistic Bowls (2000, 2001)
*Coach of the Year: (2000, 2001, 2003)
 
Robinson and his Wagoneers were one of the 6 charter eSFL franchises. They not only succeeded, but it could be said that his teams dominated. Although his overall franchise record of 30-28 is nothing remarkable, his 2 ballistic bowl titles and 3 appearances over a  4 year span will be tough to top. Robinson retired after his team lost to the Rachal Rebels in Ballistic Bowl IV. He was a unanimous choice in 2004 to be enshrined into the hall, obtaining all 5 votes. Besides his on field accomplishments, he served the league as director of sportsmanship in 2002 and was also a pivotal player in the foundation of the league and many of it's current rules.

ENSHRINED DATE: JULY 2004
*SECOND INDUCTEE IN LEAGUE HISTORY
*2002 eSFL COACH OF THE YEAR
*2002 GM OF THE YEAR
The Reapers were one of the first 6 charter eSFL franchises, originally known as the Steelers in 2000. Meneely's teams made the playoffs every season. Owner Tim "the dawg" Meneely mumbled his way to a career eSFL record of 46 regular season wins in 5 seasons. The meneely franchise is best remembered by what is believed to have been the best Ballistic Bowl ever, 2000. The game went down to the final tick on ABC's Monday Night Football, with M. Faulk breaking his and all Steeler fans hearts. Meneely was instrumental in most of the current league scoring rules and is considered one of the leagues founding fathers. After the 2004 season Tim moved back home to live with his parents in PA and is an active member of the eSFL Legendary committee. Tim was inducted into the eSFL hall of Fame in December of 2006.

Ron Pardue and his Bruisermakers are considered, by nearly everyone associated with the eSFL, as one of the most brilliant coaching minds and successful franchises in league history. Although his Bruisermaker franchise never won a Ballistic Bowl (won as the Standout Coalition coach in 2014), Pardue led them to 4 appearances over a 16 year career. His winning percentage at the time of his induction of .653 easily surpassed all owners,and his career mark of .597 is a feat to be honored. His seasons of double digit wins, 12-2 in 2007, 11-3 in 2010, 10-3 in 2012, 11-3 in 2013, and a 10-2 in 2015 are all examples of his dominance. In his 16 year career he only had 5 losing seasons with 3 of those coming during what must have been tough emotional times in his life (2016, 17, 18). Additionally, Ron coached the league owned Standout Coalition team to a Ballistic Bowl title in 2014, making the 2015 season a "carry over" and one of the most exciting seasons in league history. Besides his on field accomplishments, he served on the leagues Hall of Fame Board from 2009 until his tragic untimely passing in 2021. Ron was, and remains, at the time of this writing, a pivotal member in many league rules and its formation. Ron passed away Feb. 22, 2021 and will greatly missed by all current, active, and future members of the league.
