I'm sorry, I really don't know. But most I've seen leave out the name. That would probably be better. And you can just leave a space for it to be put on later, if they choose.
Trophy (Real) Inscription ?
Sort:
I am sure they inscribe it later .
Are you talking about a trophy for chess.com? If so, use an image editor and inset text, saving that text as an image file.
No - a real trophy that one would get upon winning/placing in chess tournament. Isn't there anybody on chess.com who has played in a real tournament and won something ? Just curious.
Sorry, I've never played a real chess game before, only online. I've played over the board, but never in an official tournament or anything.
I won third place in third grade, but I doubt that it's correctly engraved.
Well, in the absence of any useful info from this group - we had to go with something - and so we went with the following 3 lines on the trophy (club name changed to protect the guilty)
2nd Place - Under 1300
Lakeview Chess Club
Summer Tournament 2009

I can't believe I don't know this - but can someone please help me with the proper layout for a trophy? I mean the text that is put on the thing.
Would you say ...

3rd Place - Under 1300 Section
George Munroe
SCC Summer Tournament 2009
-------------------------------------------
in which case the person would receive a blank plate on the day of the tournament and we would get in inscribed later, or is it more customary to leave out the name ?

2nd Place - Open Section
Scottsdale Chess Club
