The Hall of Fame is considered the highest honor available to bestow in our organization. The primary intention is to recognize achievemnts in playing in ACBL sanctioned bridge events. Consideration is also given to level of service and contributions to bridge within the DBAA and to ethics, conduct and sportsmanship.
The DBAA President appoints a standing committee who is charged with soliciting recommendations for this award, reviewing nominations and presenting approved nominees to the DBAA Board of Directors for consideration There is no requirement for the committee to put forth a nominee unless and until it decides that a viable candidate warrants consideration.
So, from time to time, the DBAA considers a candidate for the Hall of Fame on a 'reasonable and persuasive body of the candidate's participation in bridge activities performed while a member of the DBAA'.
