1973 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 27 years thus far.
For “1973,” a Preliminary Vote with close to 100 players whose playing career ended by 1967. 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.
30 Votes took place.

We had three other separate voting parameter surveys:
The Modern Vote remains as is with 66.67 percent of the vote. This means that the top candidates MUST receive 50% of the final vote.
The Senior Vote also remains as is with 53.33 percent of the vote. This means that the top candidates MUST receive 50% of the final vote.
The Contributor vote also remains as is with 63.33 percent of the vote. This means that the top candidates MUST receive 50% of the final vote.
Next week, we will announce the Semi-Finalists for the 1973 Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project.
