Trophy Guru
Questions about trophy digitisation
Answers about engraved trophy plates, historical winners, human review, digital honours boards and exporting your club’s Trophy Guru archive.
What is an electronic honours board?
An electronic honours board is a digital record of competition winners. Trophy Guru lets a club share confirmed winners online, with views by year, trophy and winner, while retaining a private working archive.
What is Trophy Guru?
Trophy Guru provides AI-assisted transcription of engraved trophies, existing honours boards and historic competition records from photographs. Golf clubs and other sporting organisations can recover winner names and years, review the readings and build a searchable historical archive. Records can be exported or shared as an electronic honours board.
Who is Trophy Guru intended for?
Trophy Guru is intended for clubs and organisations preserving trophy and competition history. Golf clubs are a principal use case: historic cups, medals and engraved plates can hold many years of winner records.
How can old trophy records be digitised?
Photograph the records, add the images to a trophy in the archive, review the proposed names and years, and correct or add information from club records. Confirm the results before publishing an honours board.
Can engraved trophy plates be used?
Yes. Photographs of engraved trophies and trophy plates can be used as sources. Several views can help with reflections or lettering around a curved surface. Ambiguous text still needs human review.
What happens to the historical information once digitised?
The club can edit and confirm winner records, publish a searchable honours board and export its archive as CSV. Source evidence and member information remain in the private archive rather than the public board.
Is Trophy Guru only for golf clubs?
No. The archive supports club setup with a sport and is also presented for cricket, rugby, bowls and tennis clubs, schools and historic collections. The shared workflow records trophies, years and winners; golf is a principal use case.
Will every engraving be read correctly?
No. Reflections, wear and unusual lettering can make a record ambiguous. Check the proposed reading against the source photographs and other club records. Do not treat a proposed reading as a confirmed historical fact.
Can we add missing winners or export our records?
Yes. The archive supports manual winner editing and missing-year entry, plus CSV export. A gap in the archive should be checked against other sources rather than filled with a guessed name.
