There isn't really any context, just some type of prize/trophy. Of course, previ is the word that is getting me.

Now that you've given the a bit of context, perhaps I can give a better answer. I found more context online (below). Based on this, I'd THINK I'd just say "trophy event" and leave it at that.
http://www.esgalatzo.es/web/plantilles/jstl/Calvia/noticia_C...
Paral·lelament a la celebració de la regata tindran lloc en ambdós municipis un ampli ventall d'actes culturals. En concret, a Calvià, la celebració de la regata Rei en Jaume 2008 s'emmarca en els múltiples actes que se celebrin amb motiu de l'aniversari del desembarcament. La Regata Rei en Jaume, organitzada pels clubs nàutics de Santa Ponça i de Salou, començarà a Salou els dies 6 i 7 de setembre de 2008 amb un ***trofeu previ***, puntuable per al Campionat de Catalunya de Creuers que és disputarà sobre recorreguts tàctics costaners. El 10 de setembre s'iniciarà la Regata d'Altura Rei en Jaume, puntuable per al Campionat de Catalunya d'Altura amb un recorregut entre Salou i Santa Ponça i que és disputarà del 11 al 12 de setembre. A la seva arribada A Mallorca, la flota procedent de Salou participarà a l'acte de clausura d'aquest nou model esportiu: el III Trofeu López Raigal que navegarà entre la Badia de Palma i Santa Ponça del 12 al 14 de setembre.

If you really feel you need to reflect the "previ", maybe you could consider "advance trophy event" (though this sounds awkward to me).

I think in the context I found (which seems to be the same as yours), preliminary trophy EVENT would work (i.e., it's before the main event).

'Previ' generally means 'before' or 'previous' e.g.
Here the trophies were presented *before* the football match.

Without more context, I cannot be more precise about the meaning in your case though.

previ = previo ?

It could be...I am sure that you know that previ means prior because the translation would have been obvious.
Have a great day

Obviously not :) (I read your note). I find a reference to a placement test in a language school (http://www.verlaine-langue.com/index-ct.htm), in which the "placement test" is calle "test previ de nivell". I never used the word in this context but maybe this is the way to go...
