Eric, you are right. It does not specify that it has to be a US Sailing Championship. It appears, though, that application for the St. Petersburg Trophy is designed to be submitted by a yacht club or sailing club. I know our club in Ohio was very excited about being a potential prospect for the St. Petersburg Trophy when we hosted the U.S. Multihull Championship there several years ago, and that was the first time I had heard about this award for race management.

Anyway, regardless, it does not address all the issues that multihull sailors seem to be concerned about. I will include those questions and add a bunch of others.
