This trophy is to be awarded annually at the Fall Conference of District 28, of the United States Power Squadrons®, to the Squadron in District 28 having the highest score determined by dividing an Achievement Score by an Opportunity Score, expressed
as a percentage, computed below:The Achievement Score for each Squadron will be based on the Advanced Grades awards made to members of that Squadron between 1 September of the year of the award and 1 September of the prior year, using the notification dates shown on the Award Notices mailed from USPS headquarters; and will equal the sum of: the number of Junior Navigator awards multiplied by five, plus the number of Advanced Piloting awards multiplied by two, plus the number of Seamanship awards.
The Opportunity Score for each Squadron will be computed using "Educational Department Statistics" dated 31 July of the year immediately preceding the year in which the trophy is awarded and will be based on the total count of Advanced Grades awards then having been made to members of the Squadron, computed as the sum of: ten multiplied by the difference in the counts of Junior Navigator and Navigator awards, plus five multiplied by the difference in counts of Advanced Piloting and Junior Navigator awards, plus two multiplied by the difference in counts of Seamanship and Advanced Piloting awards, plus the difference in counts of total members in that Squadron and number of Seamanship awards.

Award Score = [10(new N)+5(new JN)+2(new AP)+(new S)]100

MALCOLM M. COSTON MEMORIAL AWARD
DEED OF GIFTA Boat Operator Certification (BOC) Award is created to acknowledge the achievements of the District 28 squadrons and their members in advancing their boating skills as defined by the United States Power Squadrons® Boat Operator Certification program.
Whereas Malcolm M. Coston was involved in all aspects of education and safety for over fifty years with the Balboa Sail and Power Squadron;
And Whereas the membership of the Balboa Sail and Power Squadron wish to recognize his contribution to the Squadron, District 28 and boating public in general;
And Whereas an annual perpetual award of merit for Boat Operator Certification, sponsored by the Balboa Sail and Power Squadron, to be presented to a District 28 member annually, would meet this goal;
Therefore be it Resolved that the membership of the Balboa Sail and Power Squadron directs the Executive Committee to procure such perpetual trophy as they see fit for District 28 with the understanding that District 28 will be responsible for issuing and maintain said award.
The perpetual trophy is to be awarded annually at the Fall Conference of District 28 of the United States Power Squadrons to the Squadron in District 28 having the highest score determined by dividing an ACHIEVEMENT SCORE by an OPPORTUNITY SCORE. The awards shall be weighted by a value to reflect the degree of completion difficulty and computed as follows:
The ACHIEVEMENT SCORE for each Squadron will be based on the Advanced Grades awards made to active and family members of that Squadron during the period commencing on 1 September and ending on 31 August of the fiscal year for which the award is to be made (Award Period), using the date of course completion in the District 28 database as received from USPS headquarters, and will equal the sum of:
(a) the number of Offshore Navigator (ON) awards,
(b) the number of Advanced Coastal Navigator (ACN) awards,
(c) the number of Coastal Navigator (CN) awards,
(d) the number of Inland Navigator (IN) awards.The OPPORTUNITY SCORE for each Squadron will be computed using the data of course completion prior to the award year in the District 28 database as received from USPS headquarters, and will equal the sum of:
(a) the difference in Offshore Navigator awards and Advanced Coastal Navigator awards,
(b) the difference in Advanced Coastal Navigator awards and Coastal Navigator awards,
(c) the difference in Coastal Navigator awards and Inland Navigators awards,
(d) the difference of squadron members and number of Inland Navigator awards.
Expressed as a formula the Award Score computation will be:(new ON)+(new ACN)+(new CN)+(new IN)}100
(old |ACN ON|)+(old |CN ACN|)+(old |IN-CN|)+(Members-IN)}
Where: The Members value is the number of squadron members in all membership categories excluding associate and honorary.
The Squadron with the highest score wins the BOC Trophy. For any given award year during which none of the squadrons have achievement scores, the trophy shall be returned to the custodianship of District 28 at the Fall Conference where it shall remain until such time as a new winner is determined.
