I just realized something.... Once all of the "great" composers are in the Hall of Fame, and their "not-so-great" colleagues are in Hell, we will be left with a pool of mediocre composers.  Thus, mediocre composers could end up in the Hall of Fame while arguably superior "not-so-great" composers were sent to Hell early in the game.    8)
Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life. - Ludwig van Beethoven

Careful not to fall into that "soccer trophy" mentality.  If the lesser known ones are added then they probably will never get to the 20...and if they do, then maybe we should listen to them more. ;D
There will never be another era like the Golden Age of Hollywood.  We didn't know how to blow up buildings then so we had no choice but to tell great stories with great characters.-Ben Mankiewicz

Do me a favor and don't do that thinking.  It's too late in the game to change the rules.

I'm not going to change the rules.
I was thinking of like an extra round just for the losers, like a side game for an extra entry on the hall of fame, just for those greats to have their last chance, but if the people doesn't want, won't be done ;)

Losers don't deserve extra opportunities, do they?
