My observation from attending all sizes of shows in several states is 2 things, and the two things seem to dovetail together.
The first is that many of the clubs give out trophies and awards in their earlier years and then fade away from it in time as the club grows and matures.
The second is that shows that give out trophies are somewhat defined by geography. Shows in states that are traditionally big farming states and have lots of big shows don't do the trophy thing.
How the two dovetail together is that the big farming states with lots of big show have just been doing it much longer than others and have probably done away with the awards years ago.
Our club is only 12 years old, and we might only have 100 tractors at a show. We still do the trophy deal and most people like it. Time size and the maturity of the club may change that some day.
