21 playoff appearances, 1 championship, 1 final four of TOC, .516 winning percentage...gets me Hall of Fame status.  What's the saying?  I don't want to be in a club that would take me as a member.  I guess my best owner quality is I haven't quit yet.

Well said DT

I am in the WIS Hall of Fame.  Just look at my losing career record!

DT is absolutely correct:  I paid my way into the Hall by buying enough teams.

I am betting that I have both of those.  At least the TOCs for sure.

They let me in with my record (.476) that really sucks, though a bunch of Failure Gets You 7 Leagues haven't helped. :)

As nearly as I can tell, HOF is based almost entirely on money paid, teams played.  The cutoff seems to be somewhere in the 50-70 team range, ~10K games played.  Are any other factors considered?

From a pure marketing perspective, I can understand WIS rewarding owners like me who shell out a lot of money for teams, even if we are doggedly pursuing mediocrity throughout our WIS careers.  But I think they could expand their HOF criteria a little to reward exceptional performance.  Pretty tough to argue with the credentials of profcake -- 9 championships in 10 finals, 5-for-5 in TOC finals, a remarkable 5 TOC championships in 9 TOC entered (what happened to the 10th TOC, profcake?), a .651 TOC winning percentage.  Clearly HOF caliber.  Ditto for zubinsum, whose .591 winning percentage looks to be third behind only discodemo and daronb in all of WIS, as nearly as I can tell.

Let `em in.
