Awards

Dave Murray Masters’ National Cup

The Dave Murray Masters’ National Cup (DMC) was donated by Alpine Canada to promote top participation and performance at the Canadian Masters’ Alpine Championships (CMAC).

The DMC is also to create fun competition between regions or provinces, depending on participation numbers at the CMAC, for that year.

Eligible Competitors
Must hold an ACA Master’s National card and race for the province in which they were registered.

Scoring Method
Finishers in each age group will receive points for their team i.e. 10 points for 1st place, 9 points for 2nd, etc. There are 26 age groups (13 male & 13 female). Each team may only score one female and one male per age group up to a maximum of 20 racers—the ultimate score is 200 points per event. Points from all 3 or 4 races will be tallied and the team with the highest cumulative score will win.

Tiebreaker
The team with the best score in the last race event will be declared the overall winner.

History of Trophy Winners
The trophy was originally awarded to the top province. Two regional teams (East & West) were formed in 2006. From 2009 to 2020, three regions (West, Central & East) were used in an effort to find a fair balance.
