[edit] Blanks removed from article

Blanks should not be left in writeups. Here are some sentences removed from the writeup:

The President of the United States has personally awarded the trophy on ___ occasions.

When Army has it, it is displayed __________.

(this section needs work) - from Winners of the Trophy

These sentences can of course be returned, but with information filled in the blanks. - Mark McCartney (talk) 18:25, 2005 May 25 (UTC)

Good point - I just created the page a week or two ago, and I was hoping someone could quickly fill in the info. A person did fill in the info about where the Air Force kept the trophy. I was able to readd the "President" sentence with the word "numerous" in the blank. (This will also be easier to keep up.) Thanks, Brholden 21:09, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

I reformatted the table. I have the winners of the games, but not the scores. If someone knows them, please fill them in. I, in the meantime, will keep looking. Tarfu92 21:56, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] One heavy trophy

A 2 foot trophy that weighs 170 pounds! Is this a typo or is the whole thing made of lead?Lisiate 00:15, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] How is the Trophy awarded?

It's still not clear to me just how it's determined which service academy wins the Trophy. Is it whoever wins two (out of three) of the inter-service (e.g. Army-Navy, Army-Air Force, Navy-Air Force) games? What if Navy win the Army-Navy game, Army win Army-Air Force, and Air Force win Navy-Air Force? Who gets the trophy then? --Micahbrwn 04:20, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

It's whoever has the best record among the three teams in the inter-service games. Usually one team is 2-0, and wins the trophy outright, but it can also be won outright with less than a 2-0 record, as in 1981, when Navy was 1-0-1. If all three teams are tied at 1-1 (or, I guess, theoretically at 0-0-2), it's a "shared" award that year, but the physical trophy stays with whoever had it the year before. For example, in 1993, where all three teams were 1-1, it's a shared award, but because AF won it in '92, the trophy would stay at AF. - Tarfu92 12:24, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
