This is a divisional competition, with a separate winner in each category, rather than a single champion for the whole competition. Gold, silver and bronze medals are awarded according to the final ranking in each category.[4] Although there is no television broadcast in Newfoundland and Labrador, the local television channel Saint Pierre and Miquelon La Première broadcasts and comments on the matches live on its website, particularly for the 2025 edition.[5]
