Tournament Trophy Races

Unit 430 members compete for four trophies based on masterpoints won at open sectionals (not the STaC nor the Future Stars events)over the course of each calendar year.  The Phil Wood Trophy has been awarded since 1968 to the player who wins the most masterpoints at Unit sectionals each calendar year.  The Edith Bonnell Trophy has been awarded since 1979 to the woman player who has won the most masterpoints at sectionals.  The Leo Steil Trophy has been awarded since 1997 to the senior player, 55 or older, who wins the most masterpoints at sectionals (over 65 starting in 2009).  And the Phil Wood Under 200 Trophy has been awarded since 1974 to the highest player on the sectional masterpoint list who began the calendar year with 200 or fewer masterpoints.  Note: to win any of these awards you need to be an ACBL member, but not necessarily a member of Unit 430.

The Phil Wood Trophy winner plays free at sectionals throughout the following calendar year.  The other three trophy winners (or, if the Phil Wood Trophy Winner also wins any of the other three, the second-place finisher) receive six free plays for use at sectionals in the following year.

Mini-McKenney

This contest is run by ACBL Headquarters in Memphis.  Based on the club and tournament results they receive, each month they post the leaders in each category in masterpoints won from all sources.  You can also find the list at the ACBL web page at this link.  For the purposes of these listings, players are placed into the category they were in at the beginning of a calendar year.

The version we printed shortly after the end of the tournament turned out to be the 'one day to go' list.  The real story, once the Sunday Swiss was included successfully (a problem with the event rating, which was regionally-rated silver points, confused ACBLScore), was slightly different, but had the same winners:
