		While induction into the Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame is considered to be the ultimate honor in Pool and Billiards, One Pocket specialists, and indeed the game of One Pocket itself, have been somewhat overlooked by the BCA over the years, presumably because of the game's deeply rooted after hours tradition.
		The One Pocket Hall of Fame offers a way to honor all of the great One Pocket players, teachers and promoters over the years.
		For a few, One Pocket was one of the principle games of their careers; others came to the game later in their lives, after stellar careers in other disciplines; and still others were lured to the game by the all-around format popularized first by the Jansco Brothers, and more recently by the Derby City Classic.
