The McCutcheon awards date back to the 1970s, at which time the award was solely a recognition of “Player of the Year”, being the player who amassed the highest number of Australian masterpoints within a calendar year.
Now, the awards are presented annually to the player in each master ranking group (Gold and Silver Grand Masters are combined into a single category) winning the most masterpoints during the calendar year. Player ranking groups are determined by their master ranking at the start of the calendar year.
It is a nationwide award for all players who have a valid ABF number. For example; if your ranking is 50….. 49 players nationwide in your division (Club, Local, Regional… etc) earned more points than you have so far this year.
