[Déjà Bru]

Not to upstage QD and BN, but this is what I compiled from Matt's responses when I queried him in another thread. His words:

Hall of Fame Options and Calculations

These are the possible setting combinations:
* Default (enable manual and not disable automatic): There are AI voters, and your ballot is folded in with them (you're more than 1 vote, but your vote isn't enough to get a crappy player elected or keep a guy out forever).
* Enable manual + disable automatic: no AI voting, your ballot counts for 100%.
* Not enable manual + not disable automatic: AI voting only - you have no ballot.
* Not enable manual + disable automatic: No players are elected to the Hall. The only way players get in is if you manually induct them in commissioner mode.

HOF results are announced the first week of January - ballots open a month beforehand.

The actual HOF voting is done essentially through certain metrics (JAWS, Black Ink, Gray Ink, HOF Standards, HOF Monitor), along with some other tweaking and adjusting to get the flow of votes year to year you see.

The milestone criteria is essentially used to determine a player's HOF monitor score. Essentially our OOTP HOF monitor gives certain points for reaching those milestones, plus extra points for reaching values above them.
