WWP Trophy is a contest category, a part of the CMK League serial, the individual rings of which take place across the Czech Republic all the year round.
This gave rise to a counterbalance of the so far standard point-giving categories evaluated by the rules that favored the models totally cut to pieces, fitted with a good deal of added details.
This is why the WWP Trophy has its own different rules and rating method.
This is mainly intended for the newly coming modelers without any previous participation in the contest or for those who refuse to cut their models to pieces for any reasons, and those would have no chance in the standard competitions.
The goal followed by the WWP Trophy is mainly to achieve the maximum mastership in the modeling skills, such as the cleanness and precision of the assemblies, working perfectly with paints, the skill to imitate the shade of the model plausibly, and make it as worn in operation. As described in the definitions minor alternations are admitted for more freedom.
For one year the touring cup will be awarded to the overall winner once the scores achieved in all the rings the candidate took part in are summed up.
Finally, the absolute ownership to the prize will be awarded the one who won the greatest number of the first places in one year.

Definition - Any plastic, resin, and vacuform model equipment with military or civilian designation or military-colored/designated vehicles can compete within this category. So-called "pure boxes" and models with admissible alternations can be taken into this category.
Admissible alternations - Metal gun barrels, articulated tracks other than from the original model, different (even resin) wheels, different hull or vehicle cabin covering tilts, different tow ropes or chains can be used. As for the etchings, only the metal mudguards, tool and equipment/armament holders, ventilation and cooling louvers, etc. can be used.
Any crew outfit and armament, ammunition, hand tools, and camouflaging equipment can be added to the model. The same applies to the factory equipped model interiors.
Cutting is only admitted where a part, such as a released mudguard, etc., has to be removed. Plates can only be stuck in where they are to blind the inner cooling/suction openings, sheets under the mudguards (of the tanks as well), etc. or make the model non-transparent.
It is not allowed to use any interior, engine, and conversion supplementing sets, to open any hatches or doors by cutting.
Use of any admissible alternations shall not itself place the model ahead of the "pure boxes", meaning just more freedom in model building. Only the pure nature of workmanship and geometry, coloration quality, including the shading and marking, finish plausibility, and operational wear and tear shall decide about the rating to be awarded.
As a compulsory document without which the model cannot be registered for the contest is a manufacturer's plan where an interior or engine compartment is a part of the model!
In 2007, 1-3 rankings will be announces and awarded in the scales 1/35, 1/48, and 1/72.
