Hosting a demonstration also earns 25 points, while service and leadership are recognised with 10 points for each club member who serves on the AFA committee or as a judge, 5 points for each registered timekeeper, and 2 points for each registered steward. At the end of the year, the club with the highest total points is awarded the Springer Trophy and honoured as the AFA Club of the Year.
