You'd still need to get their permission to share their details with the NAF - or are you quite happy for (say) your phone company to share your details with car dealerships?
I'm not convinced that's true, sharing of information where necessary is fine. Presumably you don't have an issue with Amazon sharing your address with delivery companies for example? There are valid reasons, where information is used responsibly and not abused, that are perfectly fine.
Additionally, the TO of a NAF sanctioned tournament is, to some extent, representing the NAF. Signing up in the first place seems like enough consent to me.
Finally, as I said, using email was just a suggestion to allow a coaches records to be linked across tournaments even if they're not NAF members. If someone feels particularly strongly, the TO can always file it under
nomail@leavemealone.com.

Don't think anyone was suggesting that. The original suggestion was that all matches should be recorded, regardless of NAF membership. If you choose to enter a tournament without your NAF membership then the match would still be recorded but not linked to your personal results and so not affecting your ranking.

In theory, the TD part should be feasible as we know scores are recorded for matches, the other stuff likely isn't held by NAF. Even then, the Most TD award doesn't always go to the coach with the most TDs. So really, you're looking at a separate set of records where TOs can specify awards and record a winner against them. Some awards will be common (Winner, 2nd Place, Most TDs etc) some tournaments delight in unusual and unique awards which requires some customisation and increases the complexity. A good idea though and I'd be willing to help if the NAF consider it.
