1963 PRELIMINARY RESULTS:
Thank you to all who participated in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project. If you are still determining what that is, we acted like the PFHOF had its first class in January 1946.
We have completed the first 16 years thus far.
For “1963,” a Preliminary Vote with close to 100 players whose playing career ended by 1955. 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, and the top 25 vote-getters were named 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 occurred “years ago,” allowing voters to submit less than the allotted spots.

You have also voted to keep the 50 percent threshold for induction. 60 percent of you made that determination. That will be put up again in 1966
Next week, we will announce the Semi-Finalists for the 1963 Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project.
