CBF TROPHIES:

RICHMOND TROPHY WINNERS:

The Richmond trophy was first introduced in 1974. Named after David Richmond it is annually awarded to the Canadian that wins the most Masterpoints each year. At one time it had the added note that “professional” players would excuse themselves from this race. Bruce Ferguson did disqualify himself in 1979 but to my knowledge no other “professional” has ever excussed themself from the race and this added notation has not been adhered to in recent years.
