The Kansas Flying Disc Association has created the Kansas Flying Disc Hall of Fame (KSFDHOF) to honor and document those that have had a meaningful impact on the sport through organizing, supporting or competing at the state, regional, national or world level.

The following is the selection process established by the Board of Directors:

1. The nomination process will open up on the fall months of each odd year and will close at the end of said year.  The class for that year will be announced by the end of April of that year.  For example, for the class of 2022, nominations will open on the fall of 2021 and closed on December 31st, 2021. The announcement of the class of 2022 was at the end of April 2022

2. There is no limit to the number of nominations in any given year.

3. The general public as well as the Board of Directors may nominate candidates.

4. Nominations from the 2024 class will be considered for subsequent years. This will be the process going forward as well.

5. A minimum of one and a maximum of 7 will be awarded each year.

6. Each year depending on nominations, there is the potential of one KSFDHOF spot that will be reserved for a person that had an impact on the sport but didn’t reside in the state for a significant amount of time.  This will be called a Hall of Fame with Merit

7. The KSFDHOF is mostly reserved for individuals, but teams and/or clubs, may also be nominated and considered for entering into the KSFDHOF.

8. Voting will be by the Board of Directors.

9. All winners will be notified of the results prior to the results being made public.
