EAST COAST CONFERENCE COMMISSIONER'S CUP
| The East Coast Conference Commissioner’s Cup is
emblematic of the league’s top program across its 17
Championship sports. A new scoring system has been put in place for
2006‐07, to further reward teams which succeed in both
regular‐season and post‐season play. |
|
|
| • Points for the number of schools whose teams compete for the post‐season Championship are split between the team that finishes in that place during the year and the team that finishes in that place in the Championship. |
| • If a team is eliminated in the semi‐finals or
quarterfinals, its place is determined by its finish during the
regular season. |
| • A school which does not sponsor a sport receives 0
points for that sport. |
| • Highest point total for each sport is the number of
schools in the conference (11), regardless of how many schools
sponsor that sport. |
| • In sports in which no Championship is held, regular
season finish is utilized. |
| • Example: Team A wins regular season, finishes second in tournament: 11 + 10 / 2 = 10.5 points |
| • Example: Team B finishes fourth in regular season, wins tournament: 8 + 11 / 2 = 9.5 points |
| • Example: Season Finish Tournament Finish Point |
| 1. A (11) | Champ: C (11) | A 10.5 |
(11+10 / 2) |
| 2. B (10) | Finalist: A (10) | B 9.5 | (10+9 / 2) |
| 3. C (9) | Semifinals: B (9) | C 10 | (9+11 / 2) |
| 4. D (8) | Semifinals: E (8) | D 7.5 | (8+7 / 2) |
| 5. E (7) | Quarters: D (7) | E 7.5 | (7+8 / 2) |
| 6. F (6) | Quarters: F (6) | F 6 | (6+6 / 2) |
| 7. G (5) | Quarters: G (5) | G 5 | (5+5 / 2) |
