That's pretty much the way I read it. There must be completion awards 
for those that successfully complete the ride. But nowhere does do the 
rules address the ride managers discretion on what to pass out to other 
folks.

If it's not in the rules it's not a rule and I don't see anyplace in the 
rules that limits the RM discretion on what she can pass out to 
volunteers, local sheriff deputies for directing traffic early in the 
morning, land owners that were good enough to allow the ride to use 
their property, those that started but had a bad day, etc.
