International Bowling Hall of Fame

The International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame was located at 11 Stadium Plaza, St. Louis, Missouri, USA, and shared the same building with the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame Museum, until November 8, 2008. It moved to Arlington and reopened in early 2010. In 2012, the WBW was merged with the International Bowling Media Association. After the merger, the WBW Hall of Fame inductees became part of the IBMA Luby Hall of Fame. ==Criteria for election==

WBW Hall of Famers are chosen strictly in the basis of athletic performance, to even qualify for consideration, a player must be an amateur and accumulate a minimum of 15 points in any combination of four specifically designated international competitions; • the International Bowling Federation (IBF) World Championships • the Bowling World Cup • the IBF adult Zone Masters Championships • and the Olympic Games with gold medals occurring in an event other than five-person team. Five points are credited for a gold medal, three points for silver, and one for bronze. Each summer, the WBW Administrator scans a database to determine eligible candidates and sends ballots with those players’ names and resumes to current officers of the World Bowling Writers, which formed the Hall's Board. ==Election process==

There are two election categories: Men and Women. Voters may cast one vote in each category for every three names listed, as well as one vote for any remaining group of fewer than three names in that category. The man and woman who receive the highest number of votes are elected. In the event of a tie, multiple candidates of the same category may be elected, provided each tied candidate receives at least two-thirds of the total votes cast in that category for that year. If this threshold is not met, no candidate is elected in that category for that year. ==(WBW) International Bowling Hall of Fame members==
