The judges had the right to withhold the prize if, in their opinion, no professional or overseas player had performed to the required standard in any year.
Owing to the rule change in 2010 which prevents most overseas players from playing in the League, it is now inappropriate for this trophy to be awarded to the "Best Overseas or Contracted Player. The League Committee, after consulting Mrs Wyn Frith, has decided that, in future, the trophy will be awarded to the Best All-Rounder
