The Board consists of one individual never associated with the league in any other way.

With the exception of the league Hall Of Fame representative who is appointed for a ten-year term, all appointments are good for 2 years and can be terminated before that only by retirement or resignation.

The Board of Selectors meets annually at the time of the annual eSFL draft to elect new members, only to replace those who no longer wish to perform such duties. There is no set number for any class of enshrinees. The 2004 class was the first ever named.

Every candidate is carefully scrutinized and must receive at least 3/4 approval of the Board. When the Selectors meet to name the upcoming class, they will have before them a roster of  final candidates, along with detailed biographies on each. To assure that older members will be considered along with the younger breed, the Seniors Committee - made up of three veteran (3+ years) eSFL members of the overall Selection Committee - will name  nominees who have failed to be enshrined and are no longer eligable for consideration. A member is no longer eligable after 3 unsuccesfull attempts. They then may only be considered by the senior committee. The member must receive all 3 votes. There is no set amount of times a member may be considered by the senior committee.

The other finalists will be the survivors from a preliminary list of  candidates that the Board will have screened by ballot. That original list will have been in part provided by the fans and owners themselves. This selection process will be conducted via the eSFL poll center. If you are not a member of the committee, DO NOT VOTE.

Any fan or owner may nominate any qualified person who has been connected with eSFL football in any capacity simply by completing an eSFL HOF Nominee worksheet via a post on the eSFL message board. The only restriction is that a owner or player must have been retired at least two years before he can be considered. For example, a candidate for the 2005 class must have concluded his career not later than the 2003 season. 

For a non-owner, there is no mandatory retirement period, but a coach must be retired before he may be considered. Every nomination received will be processed and forwarded to the Board of Selectors.

It is important to emphasize that the commissioner himself has only one vote as to who is or is not elected to membership. The only other function of the commissioner is to process the nominations as they arrive and to coordinate the annual meeting.
