It's a combination of things really.
Unofficially, the WAR cutoff is 20 as per BBRef. But if a player has an interesting backstory I'll often let him in. The thing is I don't want too many really well-known players in there.
And until 1950 I'm using 2000 as the date cutoff, then I'll roll it forward. Again, it's about bringing some lesser-known guys (back) to people's consciences.
I've also added some Negro League players in there - lord knows they never got their dues IRL.
