General Notes
Note
First presented for 1949, this trophy – a silver Rose Bowl – was presented to the Association by Shell Oil of Canada. It was awarded to the National Champion – the pilot with the maximum score in a national contest. At this time, there was only one class in the national contest.
Since 2018, with growing interest in 18m and 20m class competitions, the trophy is now awarded to the top Canadian pilot in the Open/18m class in a Canadian National contest and declared the National champion for this class.
