BRACE BEAGLING HALL OF FAME

 

SPONSORED BY HOUNDS & HUNTING

 

Brace Beagling Hall Of Fame was founded in 1957 by Hounds and Hunting (The Slike Family).  Each year the staff of Hounds and Hunting mails out the ballots to the Hall of Fame committee members along with paid postage envelopes for them to return them.  Hounds and Hunting also print the ballot and place them in the February issue. 

 

Nomination process is as follows:  First, the Hall of Fame committee (which is made up of all past inducted members of the Hall of Fame) is sent a ballot in October to fill out their nominations of eight (8) people and eight (8) hounds.  They list the nominees and rank them from one to eight with No. one being their first choice, etc.  They then send it back to Hounds and Hunting at which time a list is made of all nominees and a tally is done.  As the members rank their choices one throught eight with No. one receiving one point and No. eight receiving eight points, the nominees with the most low number positions go on a new ballot.  This new ballot of eleven (11) beagler names and ten (10) hound names goes back to the committee members.

 

            The committee members then fill out the second ballot by numbering (ranking) the Beaglers one to eleven as to their preferences and the same for the Hounds.  After Hounds and Hunting receive the second ballot back from the committee members, the accountant tallies the ballots and the final four (4) nominees appear on the ballot in the February issue.  At that time the entire general public can vote on their choice. 

 

            Again the accountant tallies the ballots and announces to Hounds and Hunting the winners at which time final plans are made for the awards ceremony.  This is a very fair way to select nominees and has

worked well since 1957 when the Brace Beagling Hall of Fame was founded.
