As with national championships in other sports, the top three finishers receive gold, silver and bronze medals, respectively. The winner likewise holds the Clifford Day Mallory Cup itself until the following year's champion is crowned. A piece of history in and of itself, the Mallory Cup was originally gifted by the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire to the family of Lord Nelson in appreciation of his command over the English fleet that defeated Napoleon in the Battle of the Nile.
