The Ernest Willcox Challenge Cup is awarded to the band with the fewest faults.

The Call Change Trophy is awarded to the call change band with the fewest faults.

The Charles Allmand Memorial Shield is awarded to the best placed of the other towers which has not won any of the three awards in the previous two competitions.

The remaining rules are normally published in the annual report. The rather arcane requirements for winning the Charles Allmand Shield are designed to enable less experienced bands to gain some success. The fact that seventeen Association towers have so far been awarded one of the trophies is an indication of the success of this ambition.
