Awarding of Trophies

It is the aim of NSWVGA to have the biggest spread of trophies as possible. Major trophy winners are excluded from daily grade events. They win the trophy with the greater value, which normally will be the 36 or 54 hole events. If the NSWVGA event is a stand-alone 18-hole event, then scenario 2 as outlined below applies.

Order of Presentation for 18, 36 and 54-Hole Events

This applies where the presentation is conducted at the conclusion of the event. There are variations to this presentation depending on if the NSWVGA Trophy is the main 36/54-hole event or if it is an 18-hole event that is a stand-alone event.

Scenario 1

If the event is a 36 hole/54-hole event, then follow the set up below.

1. Determine 36/54 hole Nett/Gross trophy recipients, Runners Up and Second Runners Up. Eliminate from all other events.

2. Determine Day 1 winner each grade Eliminate from all other events

3. Determine Day 2 winner each grade Eliminate from all other events

4. Determine Day 3 winner each grade Eliminate from all other events

5. Determine days 1,2 and 3 runners up Eliminate from all other events

6. Determine days 1,2 and 3 second runners up.

Scenario 2

If the NSWVGA trophy is an 18-hole event, held in conjunction with a 36/54 hole event, then this does not affect a player winning the 36/54 hole event overall and scenario 1 would apply to the distribution of trophies for the 36/54 hole event, however on the day of the NSWVGA event the overall winner receives the NSWVGA Shield and is not entitled to win any other grade trophies associated with the days play. This also applies for the runner up and third place getter after looking at the highest trophy value of each i.e. if the runner up were to win the grade and this is of higher value than the NSWVGA runner up then they receive the grade award and the NSWVGA runner up goes to the next person.
