Awarded in 1929, Mr T.R. Calder won the Majority Cup (best aggregate nett scores). In 1932 he served as Captain and decided, as his legacy to the club, to donate a scratch trophy. His inspiration was the early club’s scratch charm award. Until 1921, the scratch winner at each outing became eligible for the Scratch Charm. At the end of the season, the eligible players competed against each other with the winner claiming the charm.
Ex-Captain Calder introduced the idea that the scratch winner at each outing would gain one point towards the new Calder Cup. The player with most points at season end would be awarded the cup , avoiding the need for a play-off. However, the weakness in this new arrangement was highlighted in 1933 when two members were tied on points and a play-off was necessary. Then in both 1956 and 1958 there was a three-way tie and because it proved impossible to find a convenient date for the playoff, no clear winner emerged. A change was then made to award two points for the best scratch score and one for the runner-up. That system prevailed until 2015 when it was refined to give three, two or one points for first second or third place. Theoretically it means that one good round might win the cup but it has the benefit of encouraging prospective winners to attend more outings. A tie may still occur but not so often.
In 2022 the scoring was amended to award 5 points to the best scratch score in an outing, award 4 points to the runner up, and carry on until 1 point is awarded for the fifth best scratch score.
