Derek Waite Gavel Award for Top Club (old criteria)

Note: these criteria fall away at the end of June, 2010. They are provided for calculations for the 2000/10 year.

Criteria:

The Derek Waite Trophy
for the Toastmasters Club in District 74 Southern Africa with the best consistent performance

INTRODUCTION:

The criteria below are based on a proposal from The Sages Toastmasters Executive Committee 2003-2004 as a result of a project presented to them by the District Governor and refined in a collective project by Cabinet members. The new criteria were unanimously accepted by the D74 Executive on 4 Oct 2003. Under these new criteria, “The Derek Waite Trophy” will be presented at the October 2006 Hall of Fame after the conclusion of the 2005-2006 Toastmasters Year.

CRITERIA:

The top club will be one that has the best measurable and consistent performance.
The DCP is an ideal measurement tool and makes the selection criteria easily measurable and easily understood, with no subjective components and no room for misinterpretation.

To be eligible for top club selection, the club must at least have achieved President’s Distinguished Club status for 3 consecutive years. There may be a number of clubs that have achieved this and thus tiebreaker elements are needed. If no club achieves President’s Distinguished Status for 3 consecutive years, then no award is made for that year.

TIEBREAKING ELEMENTS:

The club meeting the greatest number of DCP goals in the most recent TM year wins, e.g. Club with 10/10 will triumph over a club with 9/10 that otherwise has the same score.
If there is still a tie, the tiebreaker is the inverse of the number of members, because the volume of work and the commitment increases as the number of members falls - i.e. a stable club of 21 has far more commitment than a stable club of 41 members.
If there is still a tie, the tiebreaker is the number of times a club has been a President’s Distinguished Club, taking into account a five-year history as shown in the table below.
If there is still a tie, the number of current District Officers in the club can be used as a tiebreaker.

TOP CLUB TIEBREAKING ELEMENTS SCORING SYSTEM:

Tiebreak criteria

DCP:
10/10 = 2 pts
9/10 = 1 pt

Membership:
13 to 21 = 2 pts
22 or more = 1 pt

5-yr status:
P x 5 = 2 pts
P x 4 = 1 pts

District Officer:
Y = 1 pt
N = 0 pts
