Open:
Congratulations to these Ultimate Hall of Fame (HoF) finalists. It is a high honor to be selected from the respective Open, Women’s, and Contributor Peer Pools. From this slate of 14 final player candidates, the current voting members of the Hall will cast their ballots for up to 3 Open division and up to 3 Women’s division players and for the 1 Contributor candidate. As detailed in the Hall of Fame Selection Process, the voting members of the Hall participate in 2 rounds of voting to select those individuals to be inducted into the Ultimate Hall of Fame.
Any member of the ultimate community who is familiar with these candidates is encouraged to provide input and any comments you would like to be considered by the voting members of the Hall. This feedback, both laudatory and critical, is an important part of the committee's consideration. We encourage candid participation from all who have personal experience with the candidates. All feedback will be kept strictly confidential and will be available only to the HoF voters as part of their deliberations.
We would also like you to reference the "What Makes a Hall of Famer" qualities and characteristics in your appraisal of the player and contributor candidates. The seven identified qualities identified for player candidates include:

Brian Dobyns
Co-organizer of New York High School Ultimate League '77; Co-organizer of New York Summer Ultimate League '82; Formed the North Carolina Winter Ultimate League '87; NC State Coach '96-'01; Backhoe Coach '01-'06; UNC Women's Coach '07-'10; Elon Women's Coach '11-'16; Triangle Ultimate Girls' YCC Coach '15-'18
Brian Dobyns has played significant roles since the late 1970s in organizing local leagues and in coaching young women in North Carolina. His focus on building a strong local Ultimate scene, exceptional coaching, and dedication to our sport is his lasting legacy. A native New Yorker, Brian helped organize the New York High School Ultimate League in 1977, with Andy Borinstein, that four decades later boasts 23 schools. Together with his brother, Kenny, he started the New York Summer Ultimate League at Flushing Meadow Park in Queens in 1982, which incubated the player pool that fueled New York’s ascendance as an Ultimate powerhouse for the following decade. After moving to North Carolina in 1987, Brian formed the North Carolina Winter Ultimate League, which continues to be the backbone for Ultimate activity in the area. A student of the game, he also participated in the first Certified Observer Pool in 1990 and participated in the test of the original COP procedures manual.
Brian was one of the earlier dedicated coaches for Ultimate and, over his career, worked with ten teams across eight divisions to grow the depth and breadth of play in the Triangle region of North Carolina. He began his coaching career with NC State from 1996-2001 and they won College Nationals in 1999. He coached the women’s club team, Backhoe, from 2001-2006, going to Nationals six times and finishing second in 2004, and coached the UNC women’s team, Pleiades, from 2007-2010, going to Nationals three times. After coaching the Elon women’s college team from 2011-2016, taking them to nationals four times, he coached the Triangle Ultimate YCC Girls’ team from 2015-2018, leading the Warhawks to the US Youth Club Championship title in both 2017 and 2018.
Brian began his playing career in 1978 at Hampshire College and played with various teams in New York and North Carolina until 2017 in the open, mixed, masters, grandmasters, and great grandmasters divisions, with national championship titles in masters in 1991 and mixed in 1999, and world championship titles in masters in 1990 and mixed in 2000.
