CRITERIA
1. ELIGIBILITY to Scugog Sports Hall of Fame for ATHLETES and BUILDERS.
2. The Nomination criteria must not necessarily be broad, however, substantive documented evidence should be available, plus views of his or her contemporaries, if possible.
3. ATHLETES to be considered for admission to Scugog’s Sports Hall of Fame must have been (or be) outstanding in their field of endeavour and/or to have achieved better than average proficiency in a number of sports events if not reaching the absolute top level in any one. The label “outstanding” must be applicable over an extended period of time in competition against peer athletes. This involves those competing on a strictly local level and those going on to district, provincial and national events as well as those who enter professional sports. However, distinction should be made in the nomination papers as to the reason for the nomination. An athlete, who is prominent locally, over a period of time, should not be dismissed if he or she achieves top proficiency in a wider area, whether this is an amateur or a professional.
ATHLETES nominated to the Scugog Sports Hall of Fame must have been retired from active participation in the sport(s) for which he or she has been nominated, for a period of not less than three (3) years, dating from end of season of the sport(s) for which he or she has been nominated. The above restrictions do not apply in the case of any AUTOMATIC SELECTIONS as determined elsewhere in this Constitution.
4. BUILDERS’ – including Officials (referees, umpires, etc.), Sponsors, Executives, Trainers, Coaches, etc. – whose work for sport over an extended period of time has been outstanding whether it be in organization of leagues and facilities; achieving a high degree of success in coaching teams and/or individuals, keeping a league or team active; providing services of a consistently high level over an extended period of time, etc. However, just because someone has worked many years for sports as a builder, it does not necessarily mean induction into the Scugog Sports Hall of Fame. His or Her work over that period of time must have been of a consistently high level with regard to services provided or results achieved.
BUILDERS’ nominations shall be eligible at any time. There shall be no waiting period in the category and the person may still be active in role(s) for which he or she is being nominated.
5. TEAM NOMINATIONS shall be considered on the merits of each team as a whole and not solely on the individual players. A team to be recognized must have won a championship at the district, provincial, national or international level. This team would be recognized for attaining the highest level of accomplishment possible in that particular era.
6. AUTOMATIC SELECTION shall be any Scugog ATHLETE who has won an Olympic medal or who finished first, second or third in any International Championship or who has won a Canadian Championship in a non-team discipline considered authentic by the Committee.
7. DECEASED NOMINATIONS shall in each case to be reviewed as to whether the three (3) year delay regulation shall be invoked by the Committee and shall be evaluated on the merits of the person involved.
8. HISTORICAL SPORTING VENUE – A sports venue used by teams and/or individual athletes.

For purpose of the Scugog Sports Hall of Fame, a Scugog ATHLETE or BUILDER shall be:
a. Anyone born in Scugog and who spent his or her formative years in Scugog.
b. Anyone who was not born in Scugog, but who has resided in Scugog a minimum of five (5) years and proves his or her worth in the Scugog forum of athletics. Said ATHLETE or BUILDER may be considered even if he or she eventually moves away from Scugog.
c. Anyone who was not born in Scugog, but who is or has resided in the Region of Durham and who has participated in the Scugog athletic forum and has distinguished themselves either at the local, amateur or professional level.
