And my question about the hidden damage of busted up headers is a serious question. Does hidden damage come into play or not when enforcing the 50/50 rule? Is the rule meant to be a guideline to help evaluate the seriousness of the hit or is it meant to be taken literally so only cosmetic damage counts?
I agree. Poor reasoning.

That's is not true. The region hosting the race gets to decide if there are trophies or not. And they sure as heck have been trophies at some races for more than 3-4 years, it just depends on the race. On of the main reasons why regions dont do trophies is cost.
