No minimum playing time is required. However number of seasons is a factor in evaluation. Only certifiable amateur participation in Memphis and Shelby County shall be used as criteria for candidate selection (high school participation may be considered). Definite, factual player information must be presented to the Credentials and Selection Committee before a candidate can be officially accepted. Interviews, scrapbooks, newspaper reports and articles are very essential for accreditation.
