Julius H. Barnes Points Trophy

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Julius H. Barnes Points Trophy, knows as the Sulger-Barnes Points Troohy, is a trophy originally awarded by the

United States Rowing Association, successor to the NAAO, has the original Barnes trophy in their possession and occasionally displays it at events.[2]

The USRA continues to award a "Sulger-Barnes Men's Points Trophy" at their

National Championships Regatta to the club with the most points in men's events.[3] The scoring system used by the USRA for the Sulger-Barnes trophy and other points trophies is as follows.[4] Identical or similar systems, often referred to as "Barnes scoring," are used in many American regattas.[5][6][7]
