In F3D, the pilot and caller are considered a "team". I have a silver medal and trophy from the 1999 Worlds when I called for Shadel, as well as gold medal and trophy because the US team took 1st that year. Locally, I really don't see the point in awarding trophies to the callers however, as it is an additional expense for the clubs. If you're doing a series, you could even look into doing them like the Western Pylon Series. Each race just gives out the small plate with the class, race date, and placing. After you get your first plate for the year, they give you the wood plaque to put the plate on. You then put all your plates on that same plaque until you fill it up, or the season is over. You don't get another plaque until you have more plates than the plaque will hold. A couple years ago I filled up two 8x10 plaques. I'd rather have just the two plagues instead of the 16 or so that I would've had if we had individual plagues for all the races.
