The ACTRVGA Most Consistent Player Trophy (formerly known as the Bob Woods Trophy)
Consequent to discussions held at the November 2023 meeting of the ACTRVGA Committee, it was unanimously agreed that effective as of 2024, the Bob Woods Trophy be renamed the ACTRVGA Most Consistent Player Trophy.
The Bob Woods Trophy was a perpetual trophy awarded to the most consistent player in any given calendar year. It was donated by former active member of the ACTRVGA, Bob Woods. Bob Woods passed away in 2012.
Points are cumulatively allocated toward recognition under the trophy on a weekly competition basis as follows: 10 points for first place, then nine for second down to one point for 10th place.
The ACTRVGA Irish Four Ball Trophy (formerly known as the Jim Lindwall Trophy)
Consequent to discussions held at the November 2023 meeting of the ACTRVGA Committee, it was also unanimously agreed that effective as of 2024, the Jim Lindwall Trophy be renamed the ACTRVGA Irish Four Ball Trophy.
The Jim Lindwall Trophy was a memorial trophy dedicated to Jim Lindwall, ACTRVGA president from 1995 to 2004. Jim passed away while still in office. The event is played once a year as an Irish Four Ball Event.
