52nd (subject to moves after the NAFC), when I've only played two tournaments, one a one-dayer with Vamps, the other as a fill-in on day 2 with 'flings?
I'll take that. ;)

The trophy will be handed out at the NAF Championship at the end of the month. Is it too soon to engrave it...?? ;)

That will guarantee someone else winning it...

I think Pipey's cunning plan is to engrave Besters on the trophy in advance, thereby assuring Besters won't win it. Which means I think, mathematically, and assuming Itchen doesn't attend, that Pipey, playing a stunty team, is guaranteed to win, becoming in one daring move both the 2017 Golden Gauntlet Champ and the first stunty winner of the NAF Championship! :orc:

Now that I would like to see! I'd even volunteer to play him in the final, no wait.................

The other way I could do it is with Best Painted, Stunty Cup, Most Touchdowns and Most Casualties (60 points) plus a reasonable placing. Easy. And well spotted Speedingbullet ;-)

In response to a query - can anyone point me to the most up-to-date information regarding when a NAF trophy is awarded at a NAF event? Specifically regarding numbers of games and numbers of players.

Has this changed in recent years?

From the 2017 updated sanctioning guidelines:
NAF Trophies may be awarded to the winner of any sanctioned tournament so long as it meets minimum attendance requirement... [if it has] 4 rounds or more, 12 coaches are required; if it has 3 rounds or fewer, 24 coaches are required.

Think that clears it up.

Does this mean that if you have won a tournament in the past that met these guidelines then you are entitled to a trophy or is allocation more random than that?

Addressed and I now have my trophy :)

On a different subject, do I get any points for winning a painting competition at NAFC and when are you updating the final table?

More, commencement of 2017/18 award, plus final update to GGUK 2016/17 scores coming soon.
