Earl Sargent Memorial Trophy
“Use it or lose it”
The Earl Sargent Memorial Trophy
The Earl Sargent Memorial Trophy is awarded to the TCMG member who accumulates the most points for driving their TC to various club activities. Points are accumulated each year starting the day after our Annual Holiday Party until the next year’s Holiday Party. Points for the trophy are awarded to TCMG members in the following manner:
- Two points are awarded for attending TCMG driving events, including Annual Conclaves and GoF West, with an MG TC. (One point if TC is housed at event location and not driven, but it must be displayed)
- One point is awarded for attending TCMG club meetings with an MG TC. (TC must be parked at meeting, not on trailer)
- Driving a TC to and from an event or meeting will yield a 25% bonus for distances over 100 miles each way, or 50% for more than 500 miles each way. Mileage is calculated by actual distance driven to event, not by shortest possible route.
- Attending an event spanning three or more days will award a half point bonus (must attend entire event or all major activities with TC to qualify). This bonus is a fixed amount, not increased by distance bonus.
- One point is awarded for attending Tech Sessions (those which are listed officially in the TCMG calendar) with your TC.
- The memorial service for any TCMG member is considered a club affair, therefore one point is awarded for attending in a TC, so long as the service is announced to the club by print or email beforehand.
- At the discretion of the TCMG council, partial points may be awarded for failed attempts (i.e. break downs), to bring a TC to any of the aforementioned activities.
Ties are broken by total number of driving events and meetings attended with a TC. In the event there is still a tie, driving events shall weigh more heavily than meetings. If the parties tied have each achieved 100% attendance at all official TCMG activities for the year, then all tie breaker rules are disregarded and a tie is announced.
