And that's just further proof of how meaningless those little trophies can be.
You either bring lots of beer to give to out or you enter a class that has no

Happens with judged events too.  My REALLY treasured trophy is a first place 
in a Sports Car class which I won over an immaculate and beautiful black over 
charcoal 100-6.  Third place went to a bugeye just a little older and less 
shiny than mine.  All three of us, as well as some other entrants, were 
friends and laughed it off.  The neat thing about the three of us winning, 
though, was that we beat out a dirty-engine Ferrari that was driven by a real 
jerk--who came back after the judging and stormed off the field.  I still 
think they got the car numbers wrong, or the judges had a thing for bugeyes.
