Awards
The Champion's Cup
This award goes to the best Stunty team! The real tournament champion even if there are less than 3 teams that come to the tournament. I double this would ever happen at the Golden Sausage. The odds are stacked against non-stunty teams. Like... Try it... I dare you.
The Big-Boi's Bottle
This award goes to the top non-stunty team even if there is less than 3 non-stunty teams that sign up. This is a NAF requirement and will be done away with one day if the NAF ever allows it. This is infrequently the best team but could be. Maybe. If things weren't so very very stacked against you. If you can beat off all the waist-high-sausage-grabbers to win the day!
Ball Slapper's Cup - Best Defense
Squirmiest Sausage - Best Offence
Meat Beater's Bratwurst - Most Casualties
Polished Sausage - Best Presentation
Community Chorizo - Sportsmanship Award
The Wooden Fork - Fewest tournament points
