I did for my relaxed-and-groovy tournament, but you can't see them anywhere. That bothers me, too. But I assume that the folks who win them will get to see them. I guess that's the important thing.
I didn't save the files, though, so I can't post them. I promise, they were very creative :)

We are currently playing the "Catalan Tournament" and have made up the following trophy for the winner:
It's a bishop with "barretina" (no English translation), a sort of traditional Catalan hat.

Hey FreeCat, How did you make it? It looks great. A friend of mine is getting a tourament together right now and it would be great to make up one to give the winner. Would you mind sharing with us? Thanks.

Nope. A year and a half later, and you still can't see Custom Trophies on the Tournament Homepage unless you post them in a comment. Even after the tournament is over, the winners are shown with the standard Gold, Silver, Bronze medals. It's only in the person's Trophy Showroom that you can see them. I really thought this would have been changed by now as it seemed like an easy fix, but I'm no programmer so I could be wrong about that.

Hi everyone,
I was just wondering how many other people have selected the box that says "Use Custom Trophies" when setting up their tournaments.
So far I'm only aware of Pistoleer (The Irish Social Open - just started round 2 of 3) and I (The Dark Knight Opens - starts Friday) who have done this. There are 29 pages of current tournaments, and 27 pages of completed tournaments. I can't believe that we are the only 2.
I am very curious as to how many places these Custom Trophies are actually visible. So far I can't see any anywhere, not even on Tournament Homepages (Pistoleer and I had to post them to make them visible). I would imagine that holding such a prize out in front of everyone would encourage all the players to better performances.
It seems like Custom Trophies especially would want to be displayed in our trophy cases along with the "From Site, For Games, & For Fun" trophies. However, I would think that most players would be proud to display even their non-custom Gold, Silver, or Bronze Medals on a "For Tournaments" shelf of their personal trophy case.
If anyone else has set up Custom Tropies, please post them here so we can all see them. Mine are in a photo album on my homepage, just click on my name.
