1957 PRELIMINARY RESULTS:
Thank you for all of you who have participated in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project, and if you are unaware of what that is, simply, we acted as if the PFHOF had their first class in January of 1946?
We have completed the first ten years thus far.
For “1957” a Preliminary Vote with close to 130 players whose playing career ended by 1951. We are also following the structure in that players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool.
Each voter was asked to select 25 names from the preliminary list, with the top 25 vote-getters named as Semi-Finalists.
A week later, the voters will be asked to pick 15 names from the 25 Semi-Finalists, and next after, they will pick five from the remaining 15. We will continue this process weekly until we catch up to the current year.
Please note that a significant change took place, allowing voters to submit less than the allotted spots. A glitch did not allow for that to occur in Coaches/Contributors. That will be rectified in the future.

We had two special votes:
|
Modern Parameters |
|
|
Top Five are inducted regardless of percentage |
13 |
|
Keep as is with Top Five Advancing as long as they receive 50 percent |
9 |
|
Change to Top Five Advancing as long as they receive 40 percent |
8 |
We will re-evaluate this in “1960”. So, for the next three votes, the top five will advance.
|
Senior Parameters |
|
|
The Top Senior Advances providing they receive 50 percent |
11 |
|
The Top Senior Advances regardless of percentage |
11 |
|
The Top Senior Advances providing they receive 40 percent |
8 |
As there was a tie, a second vote will take place with the top two choices.
Next Saturday, we will be posting the results of the 1957 Semi-Finalists of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project.
